It feels wrong to give this book a star rating, because it is disturbing however it was very well written.
I used to work in a jail giving medical care and so I did work a lot with sex offenders and pedophiles; and I feel like how she describes the process of her finding her victim and manipulating them was very accurate. Even inside the jails you could watch the older pedophiles slowly wiggle their way into the younger offenders minds, and it’s sickening.
