I think this book could have been shorter but I did find the plot very compelling. The characters were a bit slow on the uptake which was frustrating. I wasn’t prepared for how graphic it is, basically all the possible trigger warnings.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Body horror, Death, Domestic abuse, Gore, Gun violence, Misogyny, Physical abuse, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Torture, Violence, Blood, Kidnapping, Murder

This is probably the most graphic book I’ve read, not for the faint of heart. Intense torture, rape, and murder.
