This book. It breaks my heart. Simply because this sick shit really happens. There are so many sickos in this world that hurt and abuse children. It is a well written book but definitely a hard read.

Freida McFadden is one of my favorite authors! Every single time I think I have the story figured out and then boom! A twist! 

This book didn't fail! I was surprised all the way to the end!

His Game: The First Time by Tirzah M.M. Hawkins

dark emotional sad fast-paced

4.5

I was shocked. I started reading the book without reading any warnings. I usually do read warnings just so I know what I am getting into, but for some reason I didn’t. I can read anything I just was not expecting some of the details and what the book was actually about. I did think it was a good book. The only reason why I didn’t give it five stars was because I had wanted more information on the main character. Beginning and end. The only suggestion to readers is to read warnings. Some details may be to graphic for some people
