dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

This book was very difficult to get through. Major trigger warning for anyone interested in reading. I included all the triggers I could think of but it's possible I forgot some. But that's the author's goal so I can't really fault her. If you think you're mentally prepared for this, I 100% recommend this book. If you aren't, I would tell you to read something else.
