Excellent writing, had me absolutely gripped and finishing the book in one day. So disturbing I honestly think half of the reason I read it so quickly was to get it over with, but I couldn't look away. It was like a really horrific car crash, in book form.
Not for the faint hearted, if you have any triggers at all I'd strongly advise to approach with caution, if at all.
