This book destroyed me emotionally <3 and I love it. What an ending! The kind of story that keeps you thinking about it long after you've finished the book.

Ugh, I should have judged this book by its ugly ahh cover! Or just DNF-ed it at literally any point, but I always fall prey to the sunk cost fallacy.

Nasty and just dumb. The twists were telegraphed a mile away, and no one's motivation really made sense. Nothing anyone did made sense. How did they live in such a rural area and still rob different gas stations all the time? Has the author ever left Portland, OR? Such a dumb book.

3.25

The book isn't really scary but enough for me to feel anger towards some characters. I genuinely hate Rebel/Ray with everything I have. The book gets pretty graphic so checking the tags is a must.

It had a VERY slow start. I understand why some people didn't pushed through with it. But halfway through the book there was a change of pace and it got me intrigued into finishing it. If you don't feel intrigued halfway through, maybe the book isn't for you. The final quarter of the book was fast paced and I'm actually glad I finished it. 

I only gave it 3.25 stars cause I kinda liked the ending but I know I won't be rereading it.

I recommend this if you've been reading thriller for a long time or you're fine with slow pacing. But if you're looking for popcorn thrillers, this isn't it.

I am lost for words at the ending. The twist I could see happening, and I was hoping for sweet revenge. Instead it was bittersweet. The flashbacks helping set everything up piece by piece, weaving together the tragedy that is Michael’s life. In the end, he did get a happy ending. But I still need to know if Alice is okay!

The ending had me screaming. Would NOT recommend to anyone who doesn’t like horror. Messed up and gory, but still a good storyline.
