I was happy I took some time to let this story breathe before I reviewed it. I raced through reading it- read it in a day, could not put it down.
This story does a phenomenal job of rendering profound grief onto the page. You feel the main character’s complete and utter hopelessness. Her rage has burned so hot, for so long, it is no longer red. The feeling of crippling impotence to do anything about her daughter’s murder has incapacitated her so much, she wouldn’t even be able to kill herself as most parents in this state do.
Then she finds a group of mothers who do not let their children’s murder go quiet into that good night…they rage, they fantasize, they plot, they coordinate and they execute.
Who wouldn’t want to exact revenge?
To have their child’s murderer pay the ultimate price and be exposed for the killer they are.
How could you Not wish that for yourself and every mother whose child had been taken from them because of the recklessness or selfishness or even pure evil of another.
Well….be careful of what you wish for.

3.5 - I actually did like this! It was eerie because of the location which was cool. I also liked the premise of a murderous vigilante cult. However, I think it got to a point where I was waiting for the main character to like get a grip. I definitely caught on to reveals before the character did, so it was frustrating and not surprising when the reveals happened.
So damn good!
Right off the bat this book hooked me. The narrators rawness and pain jumped off the pages.
Towards the end is when it got more “thrilling” which was also super enjoyable.
I normally love when a book doesn’t have a perfect happy ending but I kind of wish this one did.
Overall, great great read. Idk why it took me so long to pick this one up!
