Perhaps it would have been shocking once, but the writing around the child murders is not strong enough to support the lack of characterisation or plot.
A book like this shouldn't be boring, and my god it's a drag.

I hate to admit that I enjoyed this book, but I really did.
Its a great horror/thriller read with a lot of very dark plot points and a twist that I wasnt expecting at all. (I am a bit daft though, I'll be the first to admit it)
If you're a sensitive reader I highly recommend thoroughly perusing the trigger warnings, as they'll definitely be needed.
All in all, if you're someone who can handle dark topics I'd recommend this to you.
