5.0

Only the Stains Remain is both phenomenal, yet incredibly unsettling. The torture that Jude and Kyle go through is awful. The awful backstory, revealed in wonderful sequences, is completely disturbing yet draws you in for more. Balanced out with a present day, revenge tour makes it that much harder to put down. I think I slightly higher word count would have benefited slightly, however I appreciate the simplicity that Ross puts the reader into. It truly is a book that readers will never forget, and one that will stick in my mind forever.
