Thank you, Alisha Galvan, for the ARC. I leave this review voluntarily and happily. Also, thank you to the publishers for your hard work!

This is certainly not for the faint of heart. Definitely regard the trigger warnings at the beginning. There is a lot that goes into this book. It's written beautifully, and in such depths, you understand exactly how the main character is feeling. The despair, hatred, anger, and everything that happens, you just hope for a better outcome.

You follow Caroline, a woman of two sides: A lawyers, a wonderful wife, and very much bright. On the other side, a spider she kills those who deserve to die, rapists, murderers, just men that are horrid. Yet a man is obsessively in love with her and wants to possess everything that is her. A man who does horrid things to get what he wants from her changing who he is. What's happening to her? What is this man capable of doing? That's for you to find out.

Reading this book it certainly kept me on the edge of my seat. I was so worried about Caroline and what was going to happen to her. Was she going to die? Suffer far worse fates? Those around her also suffered. Every chapter, I was biting my nails. This truly was well worth the read.
