So thought provoking, well written, dark and thrilling. The plot was so interesting, while also being very disturbing. The characters all had depth and were very well developed. There might have been some little aspects that didn't fully make sense to me, but I'm willing to let that slide because this book completely blew me away by how amazing it it.

This book was like a train wreck… horrific but I couldn’t look away. This book is DARK and full of abuse, misogyny, and trauma turned kink. Definitely a book you need to be prepared for. I found it exhilarating and scary and chaotic and sexy and tense.
