2.5
Graphic: Homophobia, Rape, Hate crime, Sexual violence, Torture, Physical abuse, Injury/Injury detail, Stalking, Sexual assault, Sexism, Kidnapping, Racism, Murder, Violence, Racial slurs, and Gore
Moderate: Animal death, Drug use, Child death, Animal cruelty, and Alcohol
This would have been an interesting, albeit troubling, short story or novella. As a full-length novel, it becomes monotonous torture porn.
