This book singlehandedly put me into a months long reading slump, but I persevere.

The writing style is good, but the content is gratuitous and leans towards shock horror than anything else. Not for me.

The incest in particular is more graphic than necessary and involves children, please be careful if this is a trigger

I wish I could wash my eyes with bleach, but here we are.  Wonderfully told, but I wish I never read it.

Please please look for trigger warning before you read this book. 

These types of books are always hard to rate, it was written well, and is successful in what it sets out to do. It is gruesome, and disgusting, and is truely extreme horror in my opinion. I can’t fully say I enjoyed it because I don’t think the content is enjoyable but it is still a good book. I think this is def not for first time readers of extreme/more violent horror. However if you are someone who “enjoys” this genre then this is the perfect book for you.
