Here’s a reworded version of your review:
Amazingly well-crafted, especially for a debut novel. The story is layered, and the characters are so deeply developed that you feel like you truly understand them—until you realize you don’t. At one point, I was so disturbed I almost stopped reading, but I’m so glad I pushed through. The ending is absolutely brilliant, and you won’t see it coming.
This is far from your typical horror story; it’s a psychological thriller that will stay with you long after you’ve finished. If you’re looking for something light, this isn’t it. But if you’re a horror fan in search of something that will truly leave you shaken, this is the book for you. Be warned: this is not a journey to be taken lightly. To put it simply: abandon hope, all ye who dare enter these pages. You won’t emerge unscathed.

Graphic: Sexual assault
Moderate: Child abuse and Toxic relationship

Definitely not for the weekend horror reader.
