This book was very dark and for me sometimes almost unbearable to read because of the graphic murder scenes and explained thought processes. Sadly this kind of took over the great writing and other likeable aspects of this book.

It is absolutely intense but i love it, that plot twist was amazing and i recommended not reading it right before bed with how absolutely intense that book is. Its very engaging  and will suck you into the world from the first chapter.
