What a messed up little book this is. Angel is tell an escort stories whilst doing sexual things to her . Each story is horrid but the intrigue keeps you wanting more. A story of drugs, abortion, dismemberment, and other very grotesque happenings. Not to be read if queezy themes are a no

The book is basically just a trauma-porn about broken people but elevated to the extreme. I couldn't for the life of me look away from the pages, so captivating and horribly bizzare the content was.
I guessed the ending 50-60 pages in, but I've watched (and loved to bits) Gozu by Takashi Miike, so it was the least shocking thing to me in this whole book.
Read all the trigger warnings carefully. They are here and they are very real.

And I loved every word. Pretty sure the stories told in Woom will stick with me for the rest of my life. This is not for the faint of heart, but if you have the stomach, it is a tale of love and self discovery unlike any I've ever read.
Bless you, Shyla.
