     It wasn’t a terrific book, mostly because I didn’t find any of the characters to be likable. They seem to have started as selfish and continued to get more so as the book progressed. The ending was a twist I didn’t see coming, while other “twists” were pretty obvious. 

    This book tackled a lot of hard topics, which made it an overall dark and sad book. I wish it had some glimmer of light in it. It’s quite a depressing read, to be honest. Overall, a decent thriller about bad people doing terrible things, with a lot of twists and turns. I appreciated the lack of a romantic storyline. 

Narrator Rating: 5.0 stars

     The narrator did an amazing job! Great voices for everyone that seemed to fit who they were.

There is NO adult/minor relationship! It's a relationship between a woman in college and a much older man.

This was just ok for me. There was a lot going on and multiple possible outcomes that had me guessing at suspects and scenarios throughout. I admit I definitely did not see the twist coming. All in all, it felt a bit outlandish to me and left me with a lot of unanswered questions, but an entertaining mystery nonetheless.

I love a good twisty mystery/ thriller and the queen of true crime does not disappoint! 
This book literally had me wanting to keep going 
My expectations going into this book were 1000% totally off BUT in a good way! 

The twist at the end I definitely didn’t see coming!
