3.5

The content that I’d warn people about comes very early in the book and was very shocking. The story developed into more of a thriller rather than a book centered around the violence. I thought the violent portions were written thoughtfully and weren’t described in too much detail, which I appreciated. It shed a light on the tragedy without glorifying it, which I thought was very respectful. That being said, I thought the book was good but wouldn’t recommend it to people just due to the content.

This book was good. I was told it was dark, which for some it is but I almost wanted more. It got especially good in the second half. Great story but needed a bit more, I’m guess I was given higher expectations.

There was a plot point that wasn't my personal flavor, and out of Stevens's other works this isn't her strongest thriller.

The *extreme* graphic content and themes of the book dropped my rating. 👎🏻  See content warnings.
