I’ve really got to start reading the content warnings. This one felt really graphic and I found myself skipping a lot of scenes. It was a super interesting concept and I thought it was handled well enough, though I did find a few typos which sucked. I don’t think I would have picked this book up if I had seen the content warnings.

This book was alright. I finished it quite quickly and it was definitely a page turner with regards to the plot, however the transphobic language used in parts of the book really knocked some stars off for me. I was quite taken aback seeing as this language was not challenged by other characters in the book, which made me think it was very deliberate and these could just be the author's personal views coming through, which is highly disappointing. I also feel like the DI in the book made some unrealistic and just stupid choices, especially towards the end of the book, which, as someone with a forensics/police background, only made me frustrated haha.

Overall I was intrigued on the mystery and liked the short chapters and pace. However the transphobic terms and misgendering of a character however minor made me not like the book as much.
