It's a well written thriller, so it probably deserves a higher rating, but in all honesty, it made me feel so uncomfortable, and I couldn't wait for it to end.

A friend recommended this to me because she loved it. It was ok. No one was likeable, I didn't feel pulled in and I felt like moments that were meant to be shocking and should take time were over in a few pages. I commend the authors ambition, but it never quite got to somewhere fulfilling. Check the trigger warnings!!

Pacing is off. Needed to be edited for flow. 
TW and Content warning is long. Check before you read. (CNC, Feeding, primal play, knife play, fire play, etc)

It was readable. The characters were all so unlikeable and there was nothing else to keep the reader entertained. It was a slog to get through and most of the “twists” were easily guessable as they happened. I’ve read another Tyce novel and loved it and was really looking forward to this book because of that, however I was thoroughly disappointed. Also, would’ve appreciated a TW for very graphic depictions of rape - it’s like the focus for the whole second part of the book. If I could prevent anyone else from having to read that I would. (I promise that is not a spoiler)
