Very dark read, not a book for most. However the authors writing was amazing and detailed. Disturbingly detailed. Again not a book for most! It started off slow but after part one you cannot stop reading, unless of course if you are disturbed by the unfortunate events that happen in the story. I have not read a book in so long but tiktok recommended it to be and I could not stop reading, finished in about a week. I would recommend it if horror is your thing and if you don’t easily get disturbed. I will definitely check out the author more, his writing style is phenomenal.
