such a gripping read!! one of the only times i found myself unable and unwilling to think of a resolution - I let the book tell the story without cutting it off at the head (pardon the expression) 
at times a bit long-winded and drawn out, but i kinda liked it that way. very disturbing

MASSIVE trigger warnings across the board. this was definitely closer to horror in my opinion. videodrome inspired. bordering on being torture porn itself. still rocked

Pretty intense themes and actions occur so don’t read if you feel sensitive to those things!

Amazing book! Went in expecting a dark, scary book- got a dark scary book. Characters are SO well developed and you leave feeling extremely connected to them all. The story has so many twists and turns and it was so entertaining to read. Many moments were cringeworthy- which I look for in a horror book- so I loved it.
