On the Savage Side by Tiffany McDaniel

1⭐ DNF too disturbing!
Twins Arc & Daffy are passed down, dope addicts.
The book is being narrated by Arcade (Arc) in such a way that from the very start, I thought what am I reading?
This is not a mystery/thriller, which is what I was expecting going into this book.
Even though this was inspired by very real unsolved murders of the Chillicothe Six, it just felt like a horrific feverish dream, where everything that happens someone wrote poetry about it. The subject matter is not for the faint of heart. My heart was breaking in chapter one and I felt like crawling out of my skin.
This is absolutely not a bad book, or bad writing, but I really can't say who I'd recommend it to. It’s written like a wild fantasy ride, a bit lyrical and poetic which may be great for others.
Warnings: substance abuse, addiction, solicitation, animal abuse, violence, gore, sexual assault (including the repeated on-page rape of a child),, miscarriage, murder.
