Wow, I don't know what I expected but this was DARK. The plot is incredibly compelling and this was a total pageturner, I had to keep reading to see what new facts would surface next! I did find Geo to be a tad naive and, frankly, dumb in the last 50 or so pages which was a bit frustrating given that it didn't feel like it fit with the rest of her character, so that dropped it down a star for me. Otherwise, a very engaging and well written thriller that's every bit as good as the hype around it. A rare feat!

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.

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.
