I want to like Angie. Heels like the right thing to do. She’s too damaged though, because she is too hurt and hurts everyone else to show it. Maybe the next is the book where she starts to claim her redemption. Then again…

A great and Graphic depiction of some dark twisted crimes. Even though we find out the truth halfway through the book the ending will leave you shocked. 

Is there such a thing as Justice? Who's crimes are worse? Lots of deep questions begging for your thoughts throughout the novel. 

If you like crime, gore, dark books this is a good one for you.
