What a messed up little book this is. Angel is tell an escort stories whilst doing sexual things to her . Each story is horrid but the intrigue keeps you wanting more. A story of drugs, abortion, dismemberment, and other very grotesque happenings. Not to be read if queezy themes are a no

As a licensed therapist and having worked with a lot of clients with heavy and complex trauma, I hear some fucked up shit. The stuff in this book barely phased me in all honesty. I know what people are capable of and then some.
The difficulty with rating it is: the writing itself was good. The trauma porn of POC is not and is honestly offensive.
When you look at it from a strict psychological perspective, this story really does show how easily the world and our experiences in it shifts and alters our thought processes. And in that way, this book was good.
Outside of that? Yeah….. idk.
And the content warnings are for real and should be listened to if you aren’t accustomed to this kind of content whether in reading/other media or by exposure because you help others with their traumas (such as being a therapist. Which means I should probably talk to MY therapist about why this book didn’t phase me….)

The book is basically just a trauma-porn about broken people but elevated to the extreme. I couldn't for the life of me look away from the pages, so captivating and horribly bizzare the content was.
I guessed the ending 50-60 pages in, but I've watched (and loved to bits) Gozu by Takashi Miike, so it was the least shocking thing to me in this whole book.
Read all the trigger warnings carefully. They are here and they are very real.
