5.0

This book hits like a punch in the gut. It was absolutely riddled with death, grief, religion, violence, and vengeance. Extremely gripping right from the beginning, I devoured this book whole. There are very disturbing parts in the book, so it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Such a great read, and this book definitely started the new year off with a bang (pun intended).
