This would have been a 5 star read if the epilogue would have been -slightly- more flushed out. So SO good. A heart pounding, gut wrenching look into the wrong side of "coming of age" and how our past will always come back to haunt us.

3.0

A slow burn thriller involving a serial killer, a dead girl and her convicted best friend. There was unnecessary information at times but the book was still fairly short and well written. 
It was good but not mind blowing. If you read thrillers, you’d probably be underwhelmed by this one. 
It was very dark and gory. There are a lot of details of bodies being dismembered and children being murdered.
