3.0

I liked it and didn’t see those plot twists coming. It was really disturbing ngl. I thought this was gonna be a 4-star read but the first 50% was dragging and kind of messy for my liking.

an onion of a book.

there were so many layers to this plot and everytime you pulled back one layer, there was yet another until you hit the center of the onion and everything hits you all at once. amazing read.

I really enjoyed this one! I loved how fast paced it was, but yet still covered so much. I really didn’t see the BH Killer reveal coming, although once I knew who it was, it made sense. It was such a great thriller!
