emilywemily6's review against another edition

The first page was graphically gorey; that should have been my first clue that this was not the book for me. I had an icky feeling the whole time I read it, so I looked into the trigger warnings and some spoilers. I’m not in the right mind space for this type of messed up thriller.

I finished this book on the bus ride on the way back from a field trip. I guessed some of the ending, but got shocked at the double twist. Definitely a great read.
