Quick, easy read. Part two moved a lot faster, but the ending was just meh. Unsatisfying. Still a fun read for those who are fans of true crime (and fictional crime?). I also noticed a few grammatical and spelling errors. "Moent" (supposed to be "moment") on page 230 being the worst of them🥴. It kept my attention, but was overall just ok.

I finished this book in two days cause I didn’t want to stop. And then at the end I also didn’t want it to stop. I need more information/another book now please.

The twist was something I wasn’t expecting at all. Good story, good characters, good writing. Very creative! It was the first book I’ve read that gives us the killers perspective. Very excited for the second book to be released!
