4.5

Ein sehr gutes Buch mit vielen plot-twists. Zum Ende hin wurde es etwas hektisch/wirr, weshalb ich dem Buch nur 4,5/5 Sternen geben möchte. 
Ein klassisches Sebatian Fitzek Buch: spannend, fesselnd und unvorhersehbar!

5.0

Ein unglaublich spannendes Buch, welches mich komplett in dessen Welt eingesaugt hat und aus der ich Schwierigkeiten hatte, wieder herauszukommen. Auch die Brutalität dieses Buches fügte eine wunderbar schaurige Atmosphäre hinzu, einfach einer meiner neusten Favoriten.

99.9% loved this book

The only issue I had with this book was  

the fact that the whole substory with Julia and Lisa was literally pointless   

 - other than that this book was brilliant. It was SO dark, every discovery was tear-worthy and anger provoking and I actually cannot really say I would ever recommend it to anyone because it broke my heart. 

That being said, if you’re looking for something that keeps your attention chapter from chapter and is brilliantly written, researched and executed, give it a try. I love discovering new authors and I’m surely going to be looking to pick up another novel from Fitzek, Germans most twisted author!
