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

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.
