The plot is great, a good story that at points was unexpected. I don't tend to read reviews too much before reading a book but I wish I had this time. The writing is DARK and GRUESOME and GRAPHIC. If you have even a little bit of an aversion to any of the TW you see, I would suggest maybe passing in this book. Thrillers/mysteries are books I enjoy the most but this felt like horror a bit as well because of the descriptions. Again, good story, but if you think the descriptions are bad, they will only get worse.
