A very quick and time-passable read if you're into this type of thing, but definitely check trigger/content warnings before you pick it up. Also there were some mistakes that I think could've used editing, weird turns of phrase and typos and a few clunky sentences. I think the character POV switching was a little much at times, too.
Overall this was Fine for me. The characters are very trope-y and the plot is pretty typical.The motive the killer gives at the end feels very... flimsy. Your dad is a cop so you have to die? Ok. And the whole book had a kind of conservative air to me. But I do think it was very readable.
Overall this was Fine for me. The characters are very trope-y and the plot is pretty typical.
