Another great Fitzek book that I loved. It took a while to get into the book, but when I was at that point I couldn't put it down. The story is written in an incredibly exciting way and addresses important issues in our society. The book is very graphic and not for people with weak nerves. The ending really shocked me and I didn't expect the plot twists. They first where a bit overwhelming but after finishing  the book and thinking about the whole story, I must say the story was really well thought out and written!

My best friend has been telling me about the genius writing of Fitzek for quite some time and finally I decided to read one of his books. The only thought about me waiting this long is: WHY THE FUCK DIDN‘T I READ ANY OF HIS WORK BEFORE? 
His writing is genius and the story is one of the best thrillers I have ever read. Fitzek is a german author but he also publishes his stories in other languages as well. So please make sure to give his books a try. This one might be the best first book to read of his. It‘s such a genius crafted thriller that has you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I just couldn‘t put it down at all, which is also why I am currently awake at 2:14am to write this review. His writing is so easy to follow and so captivating but also so genius at the same time. I don‘t want to talk too much about the plot/story but I should give you some trigger warnings, so if any of these topics are ones that bother you to read about, please skip this one. Trigger warnings: murder, rape, sadism, sexual assault, assault, torture, mental illness, suicide, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, child death, blood, physical abuse, sexism and overall violence. I know these are a lot, but this is a thriller so some of these are a given…still I wanted to mention them incase any of these topics are hard for you to handle. 
Personally I can not wait to read more of his books.
