I didn’t expect much going into this so my expectations were exceeded. It’s a gripping story, the perfect length, but I didn’t connect with it as much as I would have wanted to, pushing through a slump as I was.

I feel like it was building up to something and then it sort of came down in a disappointing way.

Also the sexy lawyer killing his son's killer idk it felt a little bit on the nose + he knew another teen had been kidnapped and he did not do anything to release him? That's sociopathic behavior lol

“While there are some moral saints out there who have never wished ill on anyone, twenty percent of human beings have weighed the pros and cons of killing someone at some point in their lives.”

Six Dead Teens. A Serial Killer On The Loose.

Dr. Moore is an expert on killers but when she meets Robert Gavin, the father of BH Killers 6th victim, she starts to question herself. He’s very alluring but he’s hiding something from her and she just can’t put her finger on it. Robert hires Dr. Moore and together they look into the mind of the BH Killer, but it’s not who’s being accused did she miss something what is the 7th victim hiding since he escaped? So many twists and hidden secrets in this psychological thriller it was keep you reading until the last page.

This is my second book by A.R. Torre and I’m definitely in love with the style of writing! I love a good book that keeps me guessing until the end. I highly recommend this book to my fellow thriller lovers!
