dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.0

Such a dark disturbing book. A few parts a skipped past due to the details of harm written about. I wasn’t expecting any of the plots twists (but also was just going with the flow with 0 expectations with this book).
