However, the more I read the more it kept me interested.
The descriptions of certain events are very graphic and disturbing. But that did make it a good October/Halloween read.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend this, but I also wouldn’t discourage someone from reading it (unless you really can’t read graphic content).

killmoore_'s review against another edition
However.
This book reads like a young person trying to squeeze as many derogatory words into 200-something pages as they possibly can. It feels... greasy. It doesn't feel like feminist grit. It tries too hard to portray psychopathy. It's a mess. The gore is the best part, and it really is well written, it's just every other aspect of this book that made me shut it.
Will I pick it back up someday? Probably. The only reason I didn't finish it was due to an inability to renew this and another novel which I'd much rather fly through before returning them.
Would I actively recommend this? No. I understand why people love it, it's just truly not for me.
