Tbh dark and very messed up but I loved it 😅. However, 

While, I didn't see the plot twist  coming I hated it. It just felt unneeded. Like the mystery could be solved without him being alive. Also like what man can pull this all off.

This book is disturbing. Storyline is well thought out, but it's just too graphic to want to read. I only finished it because it was for book club. Please read up on trigger warnings before you read this because I was caught off guard and the entire read was very disturbing to the point that I could not enjoy it at all.

I really enjoyed this book up until the last 1/4. too much FBI/law enforcement/lawyer talk for my personal taste. that being said, it was a wild ass ride from start to finish and kept me hooked the whole time. I read this book with my girlfriend and found myself itching to read when she wasn't able to and wanting to read ahead. beware, this book is pretty graphic and violent for how popular it is, it surprised 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.

Very dark, but fast paced. Relatively predictable.
