I read this book in half a day totally worth the read! It still has me thinking about it and I really want a series adaptation of it.

This was a super fun and quick read. I’ve never been a big mystery kinda gal because I feel like they can get boring quickly, but this was not the case! This book had me gripped from the beginning. The twists toward the end actually surprised me. I wasn’t expecting the ending. I highly recommend. Can’t wait to read the next book!

This wasn’t one of the books I’d usually pick up but I had a fun time reading it. It had a bit of a creepy edge getting to hear from the killer and also when they’d try to be in the mindset of the killer trying to figure out why they did what they did. It was really quick and engaging though.

I did sus out the killer though which, as always, shocks me. Guess I need to believe in my creeper instincts more. I didn’t know the motive though but once that was revealed it made a lot of sense.
