This book started out great, I was intrigued...then it devolved into gratuitous torture porn with some plot twists that were so massively signposted, I'm not sure the label mystery is deserved.

Interspersed we're some truly heartwrenching journal entries written by the missing girls father.

It was the first book I have read by this author, and honestly, it's probably the last.

3.75 ⭐️ this book was a lot. Dark and disturbing with lots of suspense. Made me squirm and scared all at the same time.

Well written, but definitely the most disturbing book I’ve ever read

4.25. DAMN. So messed up, I was audibly gasping and jaw dropped throughout the book. It was so disgusting and terrible, but I thought it was fantastic
