5 stars because that ending was 🤌🏻💋
Bloody. Gory. F*cked up in so many ways. But I read this whole book in one sitting. Check the triggers before diving into it. If you don’t have any, I recommend this 100%!!!

Hey you know what this was an enjoyable read. It's interesting seeing how yeah in Capitalism how would you profit about having sex with a corpse and the logistics on it. Who are the customers. Why. What it's selling. And seeing how one guy is trying to save a dead body from further desecration. 

also i figured that this dude was an abusive piece of shit since the first chapter/beginning really. The subtle memories and behavior he had really built up about how much of an abusive trash this guy was. Very well done as he just gave into his demented spiral. That made the book for me, reading it specifically to see him suffer
