200 pages in and we’ve gotten nowhere, and I literally can’t understand the point of the book. DNF’ed at this point

I loved this book. It may be my favorite. And not just because it shook me to my core. For many reasons. Well played. I didn’t even see it coming. Kudos!

This one was a little predictable, and the relationship between Sara and Will was annoying me (just talk to each other, geez!), but I still enjoyed it for the most part. Warning that it is very gory and has a lot of sexual assault.

I really liked this one overall but it is the first book in either of the series where it was like so blindingly obvious who the killer was that I was convinced it must have been a very big red herring because otherwise it was just like a big flashing light from the very beginning, but nope, it was just very very obvious.
