This is a very dark read, but a well written mystery. It probably could’ve been shorter. The audio book includes a short story that I haven’t finished listening to yet, so it looks like the book is 20 hours, but it’s actually a couple less.

I put this book down for months around chapter seven, but once I picked it back up I was hooked. Although it was a bit predictable, there were definitely twists and points caught me off guard. Picked up two more books by the author in hopes they’re similar!

kayleighpie's review against another edition

It was alright I guess. Almost halfway through I thought "What could possibly happen next" and realized I was not interested enough to find out. A lot of gore that made me wonder why some women are so obsessed with graphic violence against women.

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.

Absolutely gut wrenching story. Heartbreaking and mysterious that made me have to know what happened next. It’s heavy so take the time to process it and take care of your mental health but for those who love dark gory thrillers, it is perfect.
