Major trigger warnings. Very good read, but extremely emotional.

Wow. This was such a fantastic read! Very emotional and challenging at times. I feel like I would have liked to know more about Kiser’s back story.

I didn’t put the pieces together about Geo’s son until right when Kiser & Kim were. I will say, I didn’t really like that Kiser and Geo end up together. Maybe it’s petty of me, but I didn’t think Geo deserved a truly happy ending. She didn’t deserve a horrible one, but idk, just felt wrong.

PLEASE read the trigger warnings before you start this book and be aware if you have any of them. I didn’t and had to put it down a couple times to process the

The book follows a woman called Geo. When she was 16, she was an accomplice to the murder of her best friend. The murderer goes on to become a local serial killer. We see her being charged with the murder however, when the sentence is up, 5 years later, someone starts killing again.

It's a good read. The book was gripping and fast paced. I managed to finish it within about 13 hours. If I didn't sleep, I could have finished it in one go. This book does jump around the timeline to tell this story. So it's not a chronological story. I wouldn't say the characters are likeable but it is more of a plot based story. The big reveal of the killer was a bit disappointing, as was the end of the story. If I liked the ending, I think this book would have been 4 stars. I'll also know I'll forget about this boon soon which is why I wouldn't rate it 4 stars. But I also appreciate this book because it was a good choice for me to read in my goal to read more books whilst I still can during this holiday.
