WARNING! This is not a book for the faint-hearted or anyone easily offended as it is full of fairly graphic sex and drug use.
That is not to say, however, that it is mere smut as none of the offensive stuff is particularly gratuitous.

This does not always make comfortable or easy reading as her world is most definitely dark and generally quite disturbing.
