Edit on Jan. 27th 2024: JD Barker sent emails out to young female readers and reviews to solicit sexually provocative ads for his books. Absolutely appalling and unprofessional. I do not recommend supporting him or reading his books.

Short chapters kept me wanting more so I flew through this book.  I wished Porter had been a little more fleshed out, but maybe we'll learn more about him in the next book. 
It was pretty gory at times and I liked the different timelines with the killer's diary and present day.  Everything was explained and revealed at the end with a lot of twists and turns along the way.
