Sex workers face many dangers in their occupation, as well as emotional and psychological challenges. It should be interesting to learn about their struggles and the issues which they face. Thanks for a thorough review.

Very detailed review. I would have never thought that this book would be so interesting or intense just by looking at its cover, but I guess that's why they say don't judge a book by its cover.

Wow, your review makes this book sound fascinating. I am impressed by the fact that the book covers the emotional cost of sex work and the sexism involved ( especially with a boyfriend getting her into the work). I am curious to see how the author deals with this serious topic. Thanks for a great review.

This book sounds good and the plot is interesting. However, I'm a bit conservative and I do not enjoy reading books with sexually explicit contents. I will have to pass this one on. Good review.

Thank you for your review. Knowing how many women end up like the protagonists of this book is really disturbing, so I am glad that your review mentioned the author treats this topic as it should be.

I admit this would not be my first choice for a leisure read, but hopefully someone who reads this will understand why and how women get stuck in these situations then try to do something about it. Far too many women end up like the first twin, killed and then written off as 'not important' by police.

I'm not sure that this is a book I'd enjoy due to the mature content, but I'm glad that it seems to be a good book. The time jumping in chapters usually confuses me, and I wasn't able to get into the story from the sample available online so I will probably be passing on this one.

As gory as the contents of this book sound, it brings to light an underground world that many people only hear of in tales. A crime is still a crime, regardless of the recipient's identity. Too bad society doesn't view it this way.

That is a very thorough review. I would not be able to get past the explicit of the themes. That is not something I am event remotely interested in.

Vivian showed a lot of bravery in posing as her sister to try and discover the truth of her death. I'm not sure what I would do in a situation like that. I don't think this book is for me, but it sounds really interesting and I'm glad it was a good read, even considering all the raw emotion.

Great review. This sounds like an interesting read. The caption of this novel is very provocative and will definitely attract lots of readers. My only concern is hope this work does not in any way endorse or promote prostitution. I would like to read this book. Thank you for sharing.
