This book was great, but it was hard to read. It dealt with sexual assault of people but also a small child. It also not only had animal death but animal abuse and animal murder at the beginning of the story, among other hard things to read about. So when I say it was hard to read, I mean it. Also, I hoped the villain would get a healthy dose of karma. But that didn’t go down the way I was hoping it would. I liked the book, but I didn’t love it, unfortunately.
