First, I must say that this book is not for everyone and contains some Trigger Warnings worth noting. VIEW TRIGGERS: domestic abuse, child loss, sexual abuse

Ok, so this book was really intense. It contains some graphic (and possibly triggering) scenes that will definitely make this a heavy read for even the toughest domestic thriller fans. ⁣

The story alternates between Chrystal’s current life with her abusive husband, Richard, and her childhood trauma and abuse from her father. After Chrystal experiences the loss of her child, she struggles to keep depression away and quickly spirals. Soon she realizes that Richard isn’t the only thing that should be feared, and Chrystal’s now in more danger than ever before. ⁣

I’ve read a lot of thrillers lately but this one is the most intense I’ve read in quite some time. The author does a fantastic job executing the dialogue and the writing is truly excellent as well. If you can handle its haunting scenes and gripping plot that stays with you long after you finish.... then this book might be just for you! ⁣
