”We’re not just dealing with one psycho. We’re dealing with two.”

Wow, this was a wild ride. A chillingly dark story for sure (TW: assault, abuse, rape, pedophilia, multiple murders, graphic portrayals of drug use & addiction, suicidal ideation, and more), but I was absolutely hooked and couldn’t put it down.

There were a few elements of the story that felt unfinished, and critical plot points that happened off-page for a character to recap later, which really annoyed me. I want to see & experience “big reveals,” and the characters’ reactions to them, in the moment with the MC, instead of just hearing about it after the fact. So that took me out of the story a bit. But other than that, this was a nearly-perfect thriller, with SUCH a creepy psycho villain!

“Don’t you know by now that I live for danger?”

The book open with a young girl doing something unspeakable to the father of the child she’s babysitting, and ask her sister for help.

Jump forward in time, one sister is a hard charging lawyer. The other is a drug addict. When one of the lawyer’s clients works out what they might have done, the duo know they have to act, but how?

The story was okay, but it stretched credibility somewhat, and the ending broke credibility completely. This might have been because there was “no good way” to end the book credibly.

I cannot stress how hard this is to read, especially if you have experienced any type of trauma similar to those of the characters, but it is extremely well written and thorough. I cannot wait to continue reading her work.
