This book is the perfect mix of whodunit/thriller. I was on the edge of my seat and uncomfortable THE ENTIRE TIME! The absolute tension and disgust that I could palpably feel was immense. Perfect thriller and masterfully written.

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.

I can’t believe this was a debut. 
I loved it. 
It was so good. I want to reread it already. 
Couldn’t recommend it enough.
