This book was mostly just shock value but I actually enjoyed it regardless! Not sure how many people I’d recommend this to though. Insane amount of triggers.

Relies on shock value. The fast pace and short read does not make up for the story. 
 

Spoiler

 
I do not mind extreme horror or gore, but the topic of rape needs to be handled respectfully. 

The main female character has her body and trauma used for the sake of the protagonist, the ending is particularly disgusting. Sexual violence being used in service of someone's goals is vile.

What an utterly stupid piece of trash. Bending and twisting the female anatomy to fit his sick imagination. The whole time I was reading, I wasn't disgusted by the gore, but by the stupidity of the scenes. This book was clearly written by a man who never touched a woman. He has no idea about the difference between a vagina and uterus. The "plot" made me cringe so hard that I was grinding my teeth. This is not horror. It's an abomination of a male fantasy.
