Esta demasiado intenso, es una historia muy fuerte, aunque el final cierra bien, hay una luz al final del tunel.
Esta narrado de manera muy unica e incluso al final sorprende un pequeño twist.
Definitivamente recomiendo checar los trigger warnings ⚠️ porque son a lo larggo de toooodo el libro.
Se gana sus 5 estrellas porque no le encontré ni un error, me engancho desde el principio
AUNQUE, no es de mis favoritos.

The premise, though deeply disturbing, felt a little deja vu until I realized that this reminded me of Perfume, which I read years ago.
For a book that lives safely in the Horror genre and in which the central themes are rape, kidnapping, captivity, and control, I wouldn't say that this book kept me up at night. It's certainly a nightmare but it's not haunting in psychological thriller way, which was a relief to me. It's just creepy, morose, and an elaborate sick fantasy playing out it's course.
I wasn't expecting any major twists at the end and was caught off guard by one of them, which I thought was very clever.
Overall, for a deeply horrific book that I may not actually ever recommend to anyone, I did enjoy it and couldn't put it down for long. I wish there was a little less copaganda and a little more playing with Maya's fragility and reliability, I think the trope that we can rely on the police and we can rely on victim's accounts were both taken for granted a little.
