-I was a monster, just like the men I've killed. 

Just wow. This was such an incredible page turner that made me root for Scarlett despite her being a cold blooded killer. I don't think I can fully review this book without giving away a major spoiler so here's the warning!

When it was revealed that Carly was Scarlett's former self, I was actually surprised! Twists like these are usually predictable to me but the character development was severe yet believable enough for it to work. I got chills reading the last few chapters where Wes' true intention were revealed, pointing out that he put on a nice guy act in order to be entitled to have his way with Carly. Or Allison for the matter. Every single guy that gets killed has this disgusting sense of superiority and entitlement to women's bodies, which didn't make me sympathize with them. 

The ending was just the cherry on top! The fact that the romance between Scarlett and Mina worked amidst the tumultuous and fast-paced dual povs is astonishing. This has to be one of the best thrillers I've read. Highly recommend!
