Such an incredible read. I picked it up and did not set it back down until it was done. I finished in just a few hours. Such a sad and tragic tale with a satisfying ending. Women supporting women, the fight to get justice. I love every moment of it

This is the first Noelle Ihli book I've thoroughly enjoyed. 

An intense plot with a unique perspective on death, with a sweet ending adorned with a bow - I'd highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a heart pounding but satisfying quick read.

I was really hesitant to give this one a chance when I saw that it had “paranormal” elements in it but I am so glad I didn’t let it stop me. This was a really unique book and experience. There are a lot of parts that could have been improved a little but gah, what a wild ride! 

The amount of characters and the jumping around was a little bit much for me but other than that, I loved almost everything about it. It had me going through ALL of the emotions! Frustration, sadness, anxiety and at the end I felt all of the closure. 

The premise of following literal ghosts around in their version of the afterlife sounds crazy at first but it was a one of a kind experience being able to see something like a thriller from that perspective. Knowing they can’t really change anything that is happening, just watching it unfold, wanting to save the next girl but never being able to just reach out and help. It makes you feel all kinds of helpless and frustrated but ultimately that leads to such a good and satisfying conclusion that the built up emotions come out in the best ways. 

I would without a doubt recommend this book to all of my thriller readers! 👻

This book was so different from any book I’ve ever read. I really enjoyed…for lack of a better word…the perspective/point of view it was written from (three dead girls murdered by the same man), and how it all came together chapter by chapter. Aside from the ending, it didn’t have many majorly shocking plot twists or “omg” moments, but the intensity throughout the book was so high that it didn’t even matter, it had me hooked and I couldn’t put it down. I’ll also add, without giving too much away, that the connection the title of the book has to the actual storyline was so emotional and fitting and was one of my favorite parts about it. Such a unique and heartbreaking book that was very well done!
