this book comes with every trigger warning known to man and the most abhorrent, deplorable narrator ever. ashamed to say i enjoyed it. someone should have warned me about the necrophilia though.
women in male-dominated fields (psychopathy, serial killing)!!!! a lot of sickening, stomach-churning moments, easy-to-read prose, i may need to meditate for a while and recall my own morals just to check they are still intact after what i’ve gone through here (/JOKE). i would not recommend this book to anyone though.
