I made a mistake and read this book right before bed. It's a truly horrifying love story. All the little red flags that the reader, like Ro, ignores because the falling in love story is so, so incredibly saccharine. And then, the gut punch at the end and you remember, oh yeah, it's a horror story.

A truly dark, twisted, grotesque, horror story. And then you're sitting there, wondering how you're going to be able to sleep with the image of a woman who has had her legs amputated and fed to her now having her arms amputated and you just know they're going to be the fed to her for dinner tomorrow night. Heh, pray for sweet dreams after finishing this story.
