Yay for another audiobook!!!
Overall - 3/5. So there were alot of ratings that were not super great for this book - I found it to be super scientific and I enjoy that kind of stuff. I guess this author is a famous podcaster - although I didn’t realize that going in. I’m wondering if listening to it helped me out more than reading it. It was rather grizzly though describing from a serial killers POV as well as a medical examiner. I also really liked the fact that it was two different voice actors in the audiobook too! There was one great twist about half way through I never expected - and it kept me really tuned in through the entire audiobook. 

My big con is that I really don’t think there needs to be a sequel - I think it was drawn out too far and could have easily ended in this book. I saw another review that said that even though this was based in Louisiana - the author had never actually been there, and I will say that is a bit odd. Am I going to read the second one? Probably not - but I would maybe listen to it on audiobook. (I actually saw it the other day in booksamillion and made the conscious decision not to buy it lol)

I slept w the lights on and doors locked. But some of the writing made me twitch (I think I’m the best at writing)

Ugh! I read the reviews I should’ve known not to read this book but I had to. The story-great, spooky idea, however the writing was off. AND THAT ENDING WHAT!!

Loved that this was an easy read with short chapters & didn't go an extra unecessary 200 pages like many thrillers do. The story was just long enough to keep me interested & wanting more. The twist surprised me (but also felt like it came out of nowhere?) and once that was revealed I knew I had to finish in one sitting. Sequel?
