This book was GORY for sure. I understand why people are upset about it being marketed as a thriller instead of a horror. I personally think the trigger warnings listed on Storygraph are adequate and the book shouldn't be reviewed badly because you failed to read them. Overall, this book grabbed me and threw me for a loop. I couldn't trust anyone and it made my two hour flight delay much more enjoyable. I thought at first that the dad's letter POV was annoying but I soon realized that the letters served a purpose. Bro is a PSYCHOPATH AND DESERVED TO DIE!! Fucking wild.
