dark sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

Doing this on audio and not checking trigger warnings first probably didn’t help my experience, but this wasn’t really for me. It was overly graphic and the pace really fell off after about the 30% mark when you could just already see everything play out like a Criminal Minds episode.
