i thought this was a good book and it's definitely an important read. this story is unfortunately some women's truth since it's dangerous to be on dating apps sometimes. this book took me longer to read just because of the subject matter - i'd recommend giving yourself time to get through it. definitely a good read, but it's a heavy story.

This is the second book I’ve read from Ihli and wow. Such a cool premise. The first half of the book moved pretty slow for me and I was waiting for the girls to connect. But when they did that’s when it really picked up. I loved the bonds these girls formed with each other, even beyond death, and their determination to get justice for each other. Violence against women isn’t fiction, but often times justice can seem fictional. this book gives these girls the justice all the real life victims of violence deserve but often do not see. It’s cathartic in a way. Both this book and her other book Run on Red, tell womens’ stories of strength, of friendship, and of resilience. Highly recommend, but check trigger warnings. Definitely going to keep my eye on this author!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC! All thoughts and opinions are my own. I really, REALLY enjoyed this book. It was realistic (unfortunately), unique, and modern without excessive pop culture references, which is a hard feat to achieve. I'm a sucker for multiple POV stories in general, and this one did not disappoint. Each main character was easy to root for and relate to, and I particularly appreciated how these POVs followed the three victims and didn't try to romanticize or glamorize the murderer. I especially think that having the main characters be ghosts was a unique and daring way to portray this story, and while I'm usually picky about paranormal elements, I thought it was done really well here. The overall story also conveyed such a wide range of emotions, came perfectly full-circle, and was excellent from start to finish (I read the entire thing in almost one sitting). I can't recommend this original, badass thriller enough, and am so incredibly excited to see what Noelle W. Ihli writes next!
