3.0

The content is disturbing and distressing but the read itself was easy and felt quite quick. The ending felt rushed to me and was a bit disappointing. Would recommend if you are desensitised to violence/abuse and looking for something to shock.

A very extreme look into the cycle of abuse. 

It becomes a typical revenge slasher towards the end but the true horror of this book is that kids face similar abuse everyday.
