Hendrix is fantastic at pulling you into his main character's head and forcing you to see why they are reacting to their situation the way they are. This is a horror book and contains some potentially upsetting stuff. I'd definitely recommend checking the trigger warnings before starting if you're worried about that.

This book is extremely graphic. It seems like the author made it into a horror book by including horrific scenes of violence. I was disappointed that such an otherwise interesting story included such human debasement in the name of making a story "scary." I finished the book but it left me feeling uneasy and contemplating the role of violence in the horror genre.art_books_chemistry's review against another edition
