Very good book. I think it was really good. Honestly conflicted on it being a 4 or a 3.75 I think it's just a little conflicting for me. The story was interesting and compelling and I think the thing that's stopping me from knowing for sure is figuring out how I feel about Emma and Dorothy. Cause for a psychopath she does seem to love a lot of people and that's tripping me up a little. But very good book and Dorothy definetly gave me the vibe of classic killer who thinks she's better and smarter than she really is. Also appreciate that we didn't see all of her lovers that she killed, at that point I think it would've been redundant and maybe a little greedy. All in all great book would and probably will read again.

This was the most soul sucking and dark book I've ever read. The writing style was so good that I didn't want to put it down, but it was so hard to finish. Dorothy is incredibly insufferable, smart and somewhat self aware. I would say only read this book if you're in a good head space because, of how much detail his book goes into. I originally wanted to rate this book a 4 because, it's nothing I've ever read before and the writing was amazing. I had to knock it down because, of how disgusting this book is and the evil things the main character did.

This was a really fun read, however the main character is (due to her nature) someone I find intensely unlikeable. The description is fun and wild, and full of gore and torrid sex. I personally dont enjoy constant discussion of genitals outside of smut, and this book had a lot of reflections on genitalia (but this lines up well with the main character). 
I'm a vegetarian, and this book at least intrigued me with all the meat and recipe talk. Definitely made me hungry.
