Pickpick

Free ARC review. This novel is not for the faint of heart. Almost the entire story is told through listening in on the inner monologue of Crystal, the main character. It is clear that this woman has been pushed to the psychological breaking point after repeated severe emotional and physical trauma. In the end Crystal is at peace with her decisions, and through her nightmarish choices her own nightmares have quieted.
