This book was definitely a page turner. It kept me guessing and theorizing the whole way though. The twists were great! Overall a solid thriller for me!

This book was very slow starting and then there were multiple twists in the end. Kept you guessing on who you thought the killer truly was. Wasn’t bad, but I would not recommend it.

Willingham describes anxiety women have in every day life regarding danger so well, and it was interesting to see the POV of the daughter of a serial killer. At least for me, I don't see a lot of books exploring how the family has to deal with the aftermath of a member's exposure as a killer and how the community turned on them.

Other than that, the story's fine. I wouldn't say it got me that hooked and the twist was just alright. Nothing that much to write home about.
