Near the Bone by Christina Henry
4.0
3.5 Excellent audiobook, the narration was perfect.
Trigger warning, Child abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse
The story was hard, kidnapped child, murder, years of torture, it was almost unbearable for me. I avoid these real life like stories, they break my heart and leave me with the blues. This one had a weird difference and creature/alien unknown element that gave the reality a break ? It was weird oddly placed in this story and I don't think it really fit. I don't think I've ever hated a character more than William. I had to listen till the end to see what happened to him. if there was ever justice. In the end I was left hanging, I needed a bit more closure.
