Had me 100% from the beginning! Emma and Travis are great characters and I love their relationship dynamic throughout the book, their bond is very strong and it becomes that way quite quickly. Simon is such an interesting character to me

and I relished watching him go absolutely batshit on Anthony during their final battle.

I liked having a few chapters from the butchers perspective, but having information that the characters don't possess did drive me a little crazy (in a good way)
Definitely interested in reading more from Ellie Marney!

Okay this was EXCELLENT and I NEED TO READ THE SEQUEL RIGHT NOW. This was just... SO!! GOOD!! Like, I can't quite figure out what it was?? But the vibe was great, the characters were excellent, Simon was such an intriguing, creepy, yet strangely charming character. I'm just very here for all of it!!!

Actually, ya know what, I've already posted my review, but I'm coming back to rave about it a bit more. Fair warning - this is not for the faint hearted, it is GORY. But somehow it managed to hit that perfect niche of not shying away whilst also not becoming a bit too gratuitous. At the same time, it honestly could be the dictionary definition of 'psychological thriller'. Just my perfect horror really.

definitely a little mental junk food indulgence but an entertaining listen between more challenging reads. Going to follow up with the next in the series for the mindless fun of it. I do agree with other reviews that state the reveal should've been a bit more exciting of a twist but still a quick satisfying greasy burger of a book.

Ellie Marley’s writing is beautiful. I highlighted so many lyrical moments. Shout out to the part mentioning Texas sunsets 💕 The frustrating thing that I couldn’t get over while reading is the fact that this book is rated as “young adult.” Icky.

SUCH a good book. ik some people don’t like it, but i personally enjoyed it a lot. finished it in three days. it had me on the edge of my seat. i love how Emma, the mc, isn’t protrayed as a helpless little girl. she’s strong and has attitude, but also is relatable and realistic. i also love cooper and bell. i really love how different the characters are. the gutmunsson twins are suuuper interesting characters. i enjoyed reading scenes with them. this is a dark book, with descriptions of awful murder scenes and trauma. so if you’re easily shaken, maybe pick up a different book.

Found this to be like a teenager self insert in a criminal minds episode. While it’s not the best book I’ve ever read, I did enjoy reading it, not as much in the beginning but it grew on me towards the end.
