I really enjoyed Bonfire. I picked it up because I absolutely loved Krysten Ritter in Jessica Jones and it did not disappoint. I've never been one to read mysteries, but I watch plenty of crime dramas, so I enjoyed following the clues and putting all the pieces together.

As someone that doesn't read dark dramas/thrillers, I've somehow read my fourth one of the year. Unlike the other three, pulled this one from the bottom of my TBR.

Quick read. Some parts very predictable, yet there was still a small twist that I didn't see coming at the end.
