TW kidnapping, supernatural
I thought this book was super fascinating. A young blogger Shea Collins interviews a serial killer that was acquitted. Shea gets more than she bargained for when she goes to interview the Lady Killer. She finds the house has more answers than she realized. Shea gets in over her head quickly and has to figure out what is true and what is popular opinion. This book was an easy read and full of interesting ideas. I read this quickly as I wanted to know what happened. I did find it slow in parts but it was worth pushing through. Simone St James is brilliant and I can't wait to read more from her.

Shea's weird, stalkery behaviour and treating the worst time of someone's life like it's popcorn entertainment is the reason I hate so much of the true crime genre. I don't have any interest in spending any more time with her.

Really enjoyed this one—a mix of true crime, serial killer story, creepy/supernatural house, and secrets from the past. I could see some of the reveals coming, but I don't think that ruins the experience of the book as although it has a thriller feeling, I think the characters and how the story is revealed can carry the book.
