3.0

A slow burn thriller involving a serial killer, a dead girl and her convicted best friend. There was unnecessary information at times but the book was still fairly short and well written. 
It was good but not mind blowing. If you read thrillers, you’d probably be underwhelmed by this one. 
It was very dark and gory. There are a lot of details of bodies being dismembered and children being murdered.

3.5

Overall I enjoyed reading this book, I felt like the middle was a little dry and repetitive it also had A LOT going on and could be a lot to follow. 

It's a very dark book with all dark things you can imagine. At times I felt like they were thrown in more for shock value than to go with the story.
