MASSIVE trigger warnings across the board. this was definitely closer to horror in my opinion. videodrome inspired. bordering on being torture porn itself. still rocked

Overall it was a pretty interesting read! Some moments felt unnecessary and like they were just added to fluff. I also thought the twist

her husband not being dead

took away from the momentum. Other than that I thought it was a decent thriller.

Amazing book! Went in expecting a dark, scary book- got a dark scary book. Characters are SO well developed and you leave feeling extremely connected to them all. The story has so many twists and turns and it was so entertaining to read. Many moments were cringeworthy- which I look for in a horror book- so I loved it.
