dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

If you want a dark, twisted book with characters who have done such questionable actions due to their “love” for another, then this is the book for you.

It’s dark and heavy to read, with scenes that are so dour and sad that it physically pains you to read. No character is right, all of them are morally wrong due to their extreme ways of dealing with their past.
