Tbh dark and very messed up but I loved it 😅. However, 

While, I didn't see the plot twist  coming I hated it. It just felt unneeded. Like the mystery could be solved without him being alive. Also like what man can pull this all off.

I really enjoyed this book up until the last 1/4. too much FBI/law enforcement/lawyer talk for my personal taste. that being said, it was a wild ass ride from start to finish and kept me hooked the whole time. I read this book with my girlfriend and found myself itching to read when she wasn't able to and wanting to read ahead. beware, this book is pretty graphic and violent for how popular it is, it surprised me.
