Not for the faint of heart. This is one of the darkest reads I have read. You are essentially in the inner workings of a "Jeffrey Dahmer-estic" Serial Killer. I feel like I need to soak in bleach after reading this.

I tried and stopped about 1/3 of he way through. I could not get past the sheer awfulness of the protagonist. I've switched to WWZ.

Hated everything about this book
The main character was disgusting
The plot was virtually non existent apart from murder and SA
I kept reading in hope it’d get better - it didn’t. I wanted him to get caught. He didn’t.
The writing style also wasn’t for me
