missuec's review against another edition

dark mysterious tense

3.5

A lot of twists,  turns, and red herrings to keep the reader guessing, but ultimately I felt the reveal was a bit unbelievable. It was still an enjoyable book and I would recommend it.

A slow start but wow it was worth it. I didn't see it coming, each chapter spun my whole thought process and I was hooked. 
I really enjoyed how it was written from multiple points of view and how they sometimes overlapped.

I really really thought I knew who the killer was but nope. Not even close. This book had me on my toes, from beginning to end, through every twist that kept happening.

This story is told from 3 POVs: His (Jack's), Her's, and the truth (the mysterious killer).

I reread each POV that was the killer's 3 times each to make sure my guess of the killer was probably correct. It still wasn't. Alice Feeney did an excellent job at keeping you guessing.

This book gives me weird, sex cult Heather's vibes but grown up in a mystery thriller book. I honestly think that's the best way to describe this book.
