🇳🇱: Dit was één van de betere thrillers die ik dit haar gelezen heb. Alle verschillende perspectieven kwamen mooi samen en vormden één verhaal. Doordat er zoveel mogelijke verdachten waren bleef ik de hele tijd dingen in verband brengen. Ik had de dader in het begin door, maar later had ik toch mijn pijlen gericht op iemand anders. Het verhaal is ook erg orgineel. Een rituele moord met uilen veren, ik had er nog niet eerder mee te maken gehad. Ik vond het ook een leuke toevoeging dat je iets meer leert over de betekenis van een pentagram. Ik raad aan om dit boek te lezen, maar lees wel even de trigger warnings.

🇬🇧: 
    This was one of the better thrillers I have read so far. All the different perspectives came together beautifully and formed one story. Because there were so many possible suspects, I kept trying to connect things all the time. I figured out the perpetrator at first, but later I set my sights on someone else. The story is also very original. A ritual murder with owl feathers, something I had never experienced before. I also thought it was a nice addition that you learn a little more about the meaning of a pentagram. I recommend reading this book, but be sure to read the trigger warnings.

Enjoyed the pace of it a lot, towards the end some of the important parts became a little unclear and hard to fully process, but it was a satisfying read overall!:)
