(via audiobook) ((3.5 stars))

pleasantly surprised by this read! while it teetered on the edge of cliche and underwhelming, i think the author does a good job of balancing novelty with thrilling tropes you would expect in a serial killer novel. i looooved the setting and how the author used it to her advantage to tell an immersive story!!

my main gripe is that i think this could be a self contained story, rather than branching into a series. because it is the first of a soon-to-come series of books, there was some flat story telling with the expectation of "this will come back in another book so dont forget." nonetheless, a good read if you want to bridge between thriller and horror.

I think this is gonna be a "like it or hate it" kind of book for a lot of people. I enjoyed it, but it's a pretty generic serial killer thriller and one that is heavily influenced by Silence of the Lambs (the author says so in the acknowledgements). A tad underwritten but I had a good time.
