I typically enjoy stories with cannibalistic themes, as hannibal is my favorite tv show, also the premise of this book featuring kidnapping, a single setting, and an enclosed space with a psychopath, had all the markings of a story I would love. Initially, I thought it would receive a much higher rating than I'm giving it now. However, I just couldn't look past the chapter in which a 54yo man has sex with a 18yo girl who he previously described as reminding him of his daughter.. It was in such poor taste and felt thrown in completely out of nowhere with nothing alluding to it before, especially considering they had just cut and eaten a human while fighting for their lives in the previous chapter, and suddenly they're horny, like give me a break.. Additionally, a comment about being 18 and embarrassed to still be a virgin kinda rubbed me the wrong way. The ending was abrupt and somewhat predictable, but the beginning of the story successfully built a scene of dread, and some descriptions of gore were particularly effective. However, as the story progressed, it became increasingly annoying to hear the main character's thoughts about wanting to kill and attack the antagonist every two sentences, especially after initially being introduces as non violent, which didn't really align with his character. Despite these issues, the villain was well crafted and portrayed in parts, which I appreciate as I absolutely enjoy reading about deranged characters. That aspect was a highlight for me for sure. It also read super fast and writing was easy to follow.
