This book was a collection of trigger warnings in the worst way possible.  Needless to say I read through all it.

"I hope I succeeded, in that respect, in ruining your day."

you did. you ruined my day, night and probably the next month of my life until my brain forces me to forget that I read this book.

"This book is supposed to make you feel shitty, and bad, and like you need a shower."

yeah, that tracks. definitely felt like you just wanted us to hate ourselves after reading it.

this was really just a spoon full of extreme forced incest. I'm concerned for the authors mental health (as well as my own.) 

at least two of them made it out alive. (and got to kill him, good on you jodi for biting his dick off) although I'm not sure what kind of relationship they  could ever have again.

WTF was that? Woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t sleep. Figured I’d just read for a bit and opened this story because it’s been sitting on my kindle shelf for months. Honestly I didn’t read the synopsis or know what I was going ti be reading and thought it was just another horror novella. WRONG. I definitely should have noted that when an author puts a warning around the 50% mark of the book that I should indeed take that as a sign to walk away from that story. The story was revolting and horrendous and I learned that extreme horror is just not for me. However, if you like movies like Last House on the Left (I did not) then this is the book form for you. It definitely made me uncomfortable and had me saying WTF out loud one too many times. My star rating reflects only how the story made me personally feel and how I liked the overall story. It reflects nothing about the authors writing or her story. To each their own!

A parents absolute worst nightmare. I would have just k!lled myself if I were any of the victims tbh! Absolutely vial, disgusting, and depraved. But thats the whole point of this story! 

To say I enjoyed this story would be a lie because the topic is awful however I set out to be disturbed and its succeed. So if you're looking for the same this is it!
