Very dark and intense. I was invested from page 1. This book is a great psychological thriller with lots of plots twists. Yet somehow, also gives social commentary on POC specifically women of color.

This book was okay: it had some exciting scenes and interesting side characters, but some of the main character's decisions were just unbelievable

(you're a corporate attorney who hates cops and is actively trying to hide a past murder accusation and you don't lawyer up before you go to the police station?? Girl.)

and it got a bit over the top towards the end. Not a bad debut though. I'm looking forward to seeing more from this author.
