On the Savage Side by Tiffany McDaniel

PEOPLE - this book. Not only did it absolutely capture this trauma-therapist heart, it took that same heart and ripped it out through my nether regions. THIS BOOK **WILL** MAKE YOU CRY. That said, it was also the best book I have read in years - poignant, raw, real, gorgeous prose, heartaching beautiful, and heartbreaking all in one go. This was my first read for this author, but it certainly will NOT be my last. Of note, this story is a fictional portrayal of a real serial killing event, and, in my opinion, a beautiful tribute to those lost souls and what may have well been near to their actual stories. READ THIS BOOK. NOW. Or, maybe save it for when you need a good, cathartic cry. But definitely read it. It will break your heart in a good way and will leave a lasting imprint on your soul. P.S. If you hadn't guessed, this book was a 10,000 star read. #readingescape #jennreviews #netgalley
