I loved this book so much I immediately read the entire trilogy, which rarely happens for me. I Couldn’t put any of them down! This series is really great. Dark as hell, but great. Check the content warnings for sure.

This was incredibly unnerving and constantly disturbing, but there was just something about the plot and characters that had me hooked.
