I wasn't a big fan of this one.. it wasn't very unique and the plot was very similar to other books in this genre. Nothing really stood out - but don't get me wrong. The storyline is sick and disturbing and completely repulsive, especially since things like this happen. It isn't rare that these situations occur and these monsters exist.

I just felt like the writing in this was poorly executed and I didn't really feel anything. It was disturbing but the only detailed parts were the graphic scenes. It was very repetitive and had way too many grammatical errors and misspelled words.. 
I get the novel was written on Wattpad, but some editing definitely needed to be done. 

There were also some parts that were left unexplained and kind of had a huge build up only not to be brought up again. It needed more details, more development, more umph... it was lacking a lot. It had a lot of potential and the story was good enough to keep me reading, it just needed more to get a higher rating from me.
