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

Though there is character development, it’s not enough to make you love the characters. Most characters are complicated and honestly stupid? Not to be harsh but a little bit.

Pretty intense themes and actions occur so don’t read if you feel sensitive to those things!

I liked this book. It had a lot of plot twists and kept me engaged right until the end. But it was very long, the chapters are criminally long, and it's gruesome. Like really, really gruesome. I usually have a tough stomach for these things but this kept me up at night, not in a good way. If you have any personal experience with sexual violence, missing persons, or murder, stay far away.
