MASSIVE trigger warnings across the board. this was definitely closer to horror in my opinion. videodrome inspired. bordering on being torture porn itself. still rocked

This one was exhausting for me. A lot of triggers throughout the book and vivid story telling h to at could make your stomach hurt. I would not be comfortable recommending to someone. She’s a brilliant author though.

Holy crap what did I just read?! The rest of Ms. Slaughter's books that I've read were great but this one?  Not so much. The mystery/suspense part of it were great and especially the big twist halfway through but were the graphic details of the violence really necessary? Absolutely not and after a while it really turned me off towards the book.
