Definitely found myself deep in the world of weird horror with this book. Extremely sick and twisted but also kept me up late wanting to read more. I knocked half a star off because during the first few chapters I struggled to keep up with all the new characters and remembering who was who, that being said I didn't find myself needing to read back, it all sort of slotted into place.
It would be impossible to cover all of the trigger warnings that come with this book, just be warned it is uncomfortable, stomach-churning & deeply detailed in torture and murder. Also gave a stark reality on what life is like to live with HIV and how it affects the gay community, emotionally and physically.
I got absolutely sucked in with this one and loved the ride I was taken on!
