I just wanted more from this. 

It honestly was not even scary or really that creepy. The plot was fine, but I wanted a little more of the serial killer aspect and with a certain person( if you know you know). The ending of this was honestly so ridiculous and didn’t even make that much sense, but it was different. Overall this was fine and kept me entertained , but nothing special and nothing I’ll ever think about again to be honest.

I’ve been in a reading slump for the past two months, but this book pulled me out of it and i’m very grateful for that. 

This was so interesting, i’ve never read anything like it before. You go into the book expecting your usual true crime serial killer novel, but i was pleasantly surprised by how emotional and reflective this story was. The conversations about family, growing up, mummy issues and what drives someone to do bad things was so well written and explored, and i was absolutely gripped the entire time. 

I think this book would make an excellent horror movie, i could picture each scene in my head so vividly which is a great example of how descriptive the writing was.

Highly highly recommend

I have to say that this is one of the creepiest books that I have ever read, just based on how the author writes alone. You know when you're watching a horror movie and something is happening on the screen that seems normal but shifts into something horrifying so seamlessly that it takes you time to realize what is even happening? That's how this author writes and it kept me on my toes the entire time. I'd give a full 5 stars but the plot gets a bit slow at times. Very good atmosphere of just dread throughout though.
