This book was amazing! When I thought I could predict what would happen next the author said “think again”. I definitely went on a roller coaster ride with this one but loved it

Listen - the trigger warnings are a lot. It’s a heavy story, w a very heavy list of triggers.

But the storyline? Wow. It is so well written. It’s dark, gruesome and very detailed. But wow, the twists, the turns.
