kylielace's review against another edition
- Victim blaming galore. Also the stupid sentiment that all children that were sexually abused grow up to be pedophiles? Disgusting and so inaccurate and insulting.
- It was pretty racist. Like the author was trying to state the character was racist, but something felt off and the book itself has a whole lotta racism in it.
- The writing style is not for me. The author is trying to hard to be smart and make the reader think. Also character POV changes with a new page break?? It doesn’t work and is distracting.
- The killer is not surprising.
- Video games = bad. The fact the cops think the killers are killers because they see it in video games? So dumb.
- 2 sex scenes in this book. At the beginning and the end. Both time the wife starts it after finding out their husband committed crime. So gross.
- Speaking of the woman characters…. They had no agency of their own. Just an of the male characters. Just tells me the author can’t write women.
- The cops…. ugh. Putting them on a pedestal as the “good guys” and basically can do no wrong. One of the main characters has an 80% silver murder rate. Yeah, i’m not buying it.
- The epilogue was not needed. No one cares what these characters are doing after.
So yeah. I def do not recommend this book.
