BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ! I have been reading the shining for about 6 months and am only half way through it so decided to pick up something fast paced to get me out of my slump. It took me 4 hours to read this book and I did not put it down once. You think you know what is going to happen be trust me, you are 100% wrong. Oh what I would do yo read it all over again for the first time.

4.0

I read a lot of dark thrillers and this one made me incredibly uncomfortable. Even though I read the trigger warnings before starting - or maybe I missed some - there were topics that came up that I was not prepared for. 

I had to take breaks and keep reminding myself that it is just a book. The subject matter is unsettling and the amount in which Jack tortures Grace both physically, mentally and psychologically as well as his promises for the future involving Grace's family ... It was a lot 

Overall it did keep me on edge which is the point and I was impressed with the ending. Definitely worth a read if you are into dark thrillers - but again - read the trigger warnings beforehand.

ernis's review against another edition

I enjoy thrillers, but this book was too disturbing for me. On a side note, I did skim the ending, it felt like there weren't any twists from where I'd stopped to where I picked up near the end.

Overall the fear that an underage and vulnerable person was at risk of being tormented, assaulted, imprisoned, starved, and much worse made me feel gross.

Yes thrillers may contain some dark details but this novel was way past my point of comfort. I would not feel comfortable recommending this book to anyone.
