4.0

Very entertaining police procedural about child trafficking. Some of it is a little outlandish, but I ate it up anyway. I didn’t figure out any of the twists. It’s very dark subjects so check the TW before you pick this up. I do wish the chapters were shorter. There’s lots of breaks within the chapters, but my brain prefers seeing shorter chapters.

Trauma is evident but no one is even trying to resolve it.

4.0

Karin never fails to amaze me with her writing style which makes you feel disturbed and alarmed when reading. The plot was rather dark in subject matter making it gruesome in some cases along with adding some twisted details than it already is.
