This is such a difficult book to rate for me because I am so incredibly traumatized by the content but I also have to recognize just how good of a thriller it was. I did not put this book down once, my anxiety towards what was happening and how it would be resolved was too great for me to do so. That, I believe, is what thrillers are intended to do. However, the amount of heinous and terrifyingly violent acts towards women make me reconsider my enjoyment of this book and whether or not I would actually recommend it to someone. 

If you are wanting a thriller that you will not be able to put down and are willing to read some truly disturbing things, then this book is for you. But please, check the trigger warnings.
