It’s very well written. But it’s dark and violent, and ends abruptly.

I loved this book. I don’t really read crime/mystery thrillers so it was a nice change, and going into it blind I was really able to watch the story unfold. The characters were so well fleshed out and engaging and sympathetic while also being horrible, and the story itself took a lot of twists and turns. There were some parts that made me uncomfortable to the point of needing to put the book down, but that’s kind of the intention and she achieved it. I do wish the story was a little more evenly paced, it was very slow at the beginning and fast at the end, but overall a super enjoyable and unique book.
