This book wasn't for me. Taddeo is an extremely talented writer and I found the first half of the book compelling and darkly engrossing. But I found the book became too much for me in the last 10%. Personally I found it too provocative and gratuitous.

Trigger warnings for murder, multiple scenes of rape and sexual assault as well as scenes of very harrowing violence. For example this book contains a description of a miscarriage and a vivid description of a crime scene. If these things are too triggering for you just be warned.

Thanks to the author Lisa Taddeo, Bloomsbury and Netgalley for a review copy in exchange for an honest review.
