VERY hard to read, not because it was difficult, but because it was so dark. If you want to read a book that makes you hate cis-men and small southern towns, I have the one for you. It's GRAPHIC and violent, and relentless. 

It's a good story, though.

My only other complaint is how wordy Slaughter tends to be. She describes everything in such detail and it feels unnecessary. Describing every movement taken to check an email on a phone is too much. This book could've used a good culling of extra prose.
