WOW, the varying perspectives in this were equally horrifying and disturbingly fascinating. The storytelling in this was very unique. Overall 3.75 ⭐️ read for this dark thriller.

3.0

Damn at first I was disturbed but less so the more I progressed the book... I guess next developments couldn't surpass the initial shock.

This book was dark, crazy, and had shocking twists/reveals. The writing style of the book was different than what I'm used to reading, yet it was still interesting to follow along.

My only con was listening to it as an audiobook instead of reading it physically. I was unable to see the characters' names and got a little confused as to who was who in the beginning. 

Overall, it was a good read!

4.0

One of the wildest rides I’ve ever been on. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the author throws another curveball. I was floored for about 95% of this book. The writing style takes a bit to get used to at first, but once you get into it, it’s not as jarring. At the outset of reading this, my main takeaway is who really was the “bad guy” in this story. I’m not sure, are you?

This book is the definition of "an eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind." 

Absolutely incredible revenge story that hooks you at the very start.

It's taught me perception vs perspective are to different things to always take into account of someone.

Highly recommend!
