I……I’m sorry, but WHAT did I just read? This book is dark and needs content warnings for blood, gore, violence, and the like. Weak stomachs should skip this book. One thing this story did really well was build tension. I could feel the tension building truly with every page. I thought it was building up to a twist that I had “figured out” about 1/3 of the way in. Kept waiting and waiting and waiting for the twist I thought I had so cleverly figured out. The actual twist was revealed in the last 10 pages and was worlds away from what I had guessed. Which,I mean…good job to the author, I guess? But I still don’t think I fully understand the twist AND it is so outlandish that it totally discredits the rest of the story. I would rather the twist have been the one I thought of myself. The cover of the book is really pretty, though.
