4.5

I think the very first line of this novel “Abandon all hope ye who enter here” perfectly describes what you’re about to experience in this story. It truly feels like every page is one step deeper into hell. But it’s absolutely brilliant. A twisted, dark, hellish story that I think will reward anyone brave enough to read it.
