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

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

Amazing book! Went in expecting a dark, scary book- got a dark scary book. Characters are SO well developed and you leave feeling extremely connected to them all. The story has so many twists and turns and it was so entertaining to read. Many moments were cringeworthy- which I look for in a horror book- so I loved it.

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.

What a heartbreaking book. 
There were mulitple parts that my blood was boiling or my stomach hurt. It was graphic and gruesome. It painted an image I couldn't get out of my head, though I didn't want it there in the first place. 

It was depressing and gut-wrenching. The ending 😭😭 

So well written. The definition of a white knuckle thriller/mystery.
