Overall it was fine. The writing was fine. The story, fine. And gruesome and not a very happy ending. I kinda nothing this book tbh.

3.0
However it also contains every single trigger warning a person could imagine. Very taboo subjects are presented and Ketchum lacks the deft hands to present them as anything more than shock for the sake of it. (I 'm only referring to this book with that previous statement.) It's also grossly sexist and even as a male I found myself rolling my eyes at how the women are portrayed. It doesn't help that the characters are thinner than paper. This why it only has a 3 star rating.
There's no subtlety in this book. For better and for worse.
Only recommend for hardcore horror fanatics with stomachs of steel and some questionable morals.
