Really tired of the fmc being dark and twisty and depressed. Why does she have to cut herself? And with words written on her body? Did not like that. Also had the plot pinned within the first 10% of the book

this was good. i could not put it down and was thinking ab it when i couldn’t read it. 4 stars cause what the hell there needed to be more of an ending. like i feel like the book was so detailed throughout but once it got to the end there were so many key details left out i think. maybe answers will be in the show

To me, the blurb is the most interesting part of the book. Anyone I talk to about the book I’m reading seem really intrigued when I say, “2 young girls are found dead in a small town and, get this, with their teeth removed!” But I found the ending to be unbelievable and, frankly, ridiculous.

SpoilerIt really frustrates me when the big reveal is actually a child that ends up being the serial killer. It’s always a shocking twist! at the last 5 or so pages with no answers to questions like “How has no one caught this child for so long?” Are they really such a genius that they left no trace at all?

So freaking good, not how I expected it to end. It was slow at first but all the details were so important.

3/5, this was just alright for me. I wanted it to be fast paced but it was easy to put down! I enjoyed some parts and the first half was much stronger than the first
