meganbacigal's review against another edition

2.5

I enjoyed the first 250 pages of this book with the twists and turns, but then… it turned way too gruesome. I did not check trigger warnings and other reviews before reading. The descriptions of horrific acts were very graphic and almost made it a DNF for me.

The writing style of this book threw me a little because third person is hard for me to follow or enjoy sometimes but I got so sucked into this I finished it in less than 24 hours. 

I was NOT expecting the way this unraveled or how the people connected. Please check the trigger warnings because it’s fucked up. 

If you’re looking for a thriller that you could read in one sitting if you had the time because you just need to know how it’s going to end, this is it.

Loved this book. Kept me on my toes and thinking about what could possibly come next when I wasn’t actively reading. Please check the trigger warnings before - Very graphic
