Whew… heed those trigger warnings, folks!
This book was gross. It was really hard to read at times. The characters are despicable. I really wanted to see their demise. And I mean all of this in a good way.
The book does require you to suspend your disbelief quite a bit: how did they not get caught, how did they find each other? But if you can move past this, you’ll “enjoy” this book.
Two doctors, Benway and Sax, and benway’s wife are evil, evil people. They abuse their power at work and at home. Just when you think you’ve seen them at their worst, you’re proven so, so wrong.
I couldn’t put this down, I was horrified to discover what was coming next. I’d recommend this book only if you have a strong stomach for abuse.
