Whew! At one point my heart rate was up to 101 bpm. I love this series, the character development is enough to keep me coming back for each new episode but not so much that I'm bothered by waiting for the next release. I did accurately predict a couple details but not all of them which makes it a perfect mystery in my opinion. 
So many trigger warnings, I'm sure there'  some I missed. The inner workings of the cult might be a lot. Proceed with caution if you need.

This book was too long. The story was definitely a page turner, but is was jam-packed with unnecessary repitition of brutally triggering events and abuses. There is also a very obvious theme of fatphobia throughout the entire book. I would not recommend anyone with an eating disorder read this book. I'm officially done with JKR/RG's antics in her writing. Yes, she writes exciting stories. However, she's so transparently problematic and I'm just exhausted of her. Sad I spent money on this book.
