This was such an awful book I struggled to finish it. The author makes horrible connections between the trans community, the kink and fetish community, and those suffering from mental illness and trauma. They connect them all in such harmful ways that I am surprised this book was published. The POVs from one of the character is absolute brain rot and the commentary the author tries to put in there becomes completely invalidated because the character is mentally unstable.

The ending was absolute garbage and so stupid. It was such a cope out and tried to make sense of everything that happened. I'm no stranger to extreme horror but the violence and gore in this book just was so stupid and pointless and gross for the sake of being gross.

Do not recommend. If you have this, trash it.
