I was NOT expecting the way this unraveled or how the people connected. Please check the trigger warnings because it’s fucked up.
If you’re looking for a thriller that you could read in one sitting if you had the time because you just need to know how it’s going to end, this is it.

From fraught family relationships to murder to addiction, this book deals with many difficult topics in addition to snuff pornography. Slaughter handles them very well and uses them to create tension and twists that will keep you reading.

It made me uncomfortable, which I am sure is the point, but I think there was a way to balance this better so that the reader would not feel gross for even reading it. It wasn't fun to read, which is what I look for in a thriller.
The rest of the book was either slow (some parts were boring, just dragged), predictable, or unplausable.
I won't say the writing is awful, so that saves this from being a 1 star. The frequency and description of the violence is gratuitous. The plot and ending is a bit far-fetched as well, but that has nothing on the yuck that is this book. I wish it'd never been recommended to me.
