Not the worst book, but it was very predictable. I called the killer from their introduction, as well as the other deaths that we discover early on. Kind of disappointing.

Also...

I am really frustrated that the promising young brown kid was killed off. He is the only death outside of the murders, and the only death "on the page." Why is the only POC mentioned the only death? Granted, it was clear he was going to die from the moment Finlay introducedhis mother with that "take care of my boy" line. But it is still irritating.

Wow, wow, wow. The ENDING!!!

The Night Shift is probably up there in being one of my favorite thrills. I didn’t see the ending coming at all. I did get one of the plot twists. I liked that two of the three characters had flaws that they were processing through while the whole story was playing out.

The ending was the Epilogue was the sweetest thing 💕

I didn't guess the twist, so I have to give this one a compliment for that. Unfortunately, I didn't really feel invested until I was a third of the way through, and I didn't find the ending satisfying for most of the characters. I also hoped for more 90's nostalgia, but the author didn't really take the opportunity to capitalize on that.

The identity of the killer is pretty predictable. That being noted, it still had enough twists to be a good read. Atticus’s passing was so heartbreaking

slow-paced

2.0

This wasn't amazing, it did nothing for me and I'm happy it's done. The ending sucked. I only liked the female narrator who read ch. 71 (she read others, I just didn't keep track).  The other female and the male narrator were so dreadfully dull and boring, so bland... I'd rather hear a computer read their chapters out.
