I'd have to say this book is probably the most disturbing one I've ever read. The twists kept coming and I was hooked from middle to end. Definitely not for the faint of hearted.

Y’all this was a WILD ride. 

Go in blind. The first 85 pages are slow and then it gets wild fast. 

Really interesting thriller.

This is the craziest, most original book I've ever read. All these twists and turns got me shook. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was that it felt a bit unrealistic/too much at times. I'll think about this book for a while and recommend it to everyone.
