At one point I literally wanted to vomit. What a great horror book!

It's a gripping tale of a toxic relationship gone even more wrong. It could've benefited from being a bit more of a slow burn but it works great as this short novella.

Please check the trigger warnings.

this is the kind of book where you desperately want to look away but you just can’t. 
the writing is out of this world.
