perfection! this book was insane, it made me feel so many different things. i was engaged from the beginning until the last sentence. i enjoyed the relationships and dynamics between the characters. the plot wasn’t overly predictable which i liked. the story is very well written and i’m gonna recommended to others the same way my friend kellen recommended it to me!!

Absolutely gut wrenching story. Heartbreaking and mysterious that made me have to know what happened next. It’s heavy so take the time to process it and take care of your mental health but for those who love dark gory thrillers, it is perfect.

 This was a very different book for me based on what I've been reading. It was a little hard to keep straight the different POV's at the beginning, but that eventually gets a little easier. It was full of major suspense and it kept me turning the page. Do pay attention to any trigger warnings (r***, murder, torture, etc.) because there is a good amount of this book that actively describes what is basically torture porn. If you really like Criminal Minds and are into that sorta stuff this would definitely be up your alley!

Now it's time for me to go back to my happy romance for a bit lol
