I maybe would have finished this novella if I wasn’t already weary from trying to read the author’s novel Manhunt at the same time. I realized that her hyper-spare prose style and ceaselessly grim tone are not for me. I’m not a hater through, I’m glad she’s out there writing stories for the people who enjoy her work.

The torture is grisly but somehow mesmerizing. I read this while listening to Lingua Ignota's ALL BITCHES DIE. Best way to spend an hour. Thanks to Storygraph for recommending this author to me!

This is not for the faint of heart, the squeamish or the HEA crowd, for sure. The writing is great, all of the descriptions are so vivid that, as you read, its hard to not recoil in horror. I took my time absorbing this one, and so should you.
