This is a fantastic book! I’m trying to get back into reading as a hobby again and this was the perfect choice. The story is so captivating! A warning, though: if you’re not okay with gore or body horror, this is not the book for you.

2.0

The summary presents this as a mystery, but the first third has nothing to do with the main plot besides the inciting incident and definitely nothing to support a mystery. The murderer isn't even released until about 1/3rd of the way through the book. 

The pacing should be fast. The events happening should make it so. Unfortunately, it didn't feel that way.

Christian fiction, for all the author tries to dress it up otherwise.
