4.0
First and foremost, this is a horror with spicy/thriller elements in it, so be sure to check your triggers. There is on page tragedy, and at times it is just gut wrenching. That being said, this gave off Hannibal Lector vibes (without the appetite) as we follow a reporter while she interviews an inmate with an intense record. There were moments that felt slow, but the intensity of the character's background stories, and the way they come together through angsty/heartbreaking moments was worth the read.
