Really enjoyed this overall. A little slow in the first half of the book, but the second half really made it worth it and wasn't expecting the twists and turns and all the secrets that unfolded.

I liked the book... good twists, not a fan of the ending. I wanted more.

The writing itself wasn't bad; the plot however, frustrated me to no end. From the beginning I thought there were so many similarities to the Menendez brothers case, (much like I thought her other book What Lies in the Woods had many similarities to the Slenderman case) and I'm really not a fan of authors taking inspiration from real life true crime.
