This was such a gritty, creepy and scary read. I was on edge the whole time. Read it in one sitting.
One of the best thrillers I’ve read.

krystala's review against another edition
This was a crazy story but missing some things at the end. I wanted to see how Lindsey and Katie coped with what happened. Lindsey’s father was not only shot in the head but gutted by something. Where did Lindsey end up living? Also, what happened to her boyfriend? That was totally left out. How did Katie end up doing knowing everything that happened? Overall though it was a crazy book. Sick things for those teens to have to go through, that’s for sure. The man definitely did not get what he deserved, just dying in the twister. He deserved so much more and the families deserved more justice. All that was left were two victims that were victims in a different way. It was graphic in the way that they didn’t shy away from telling you what was going on. It made you definitely feel mixed feelings on Mitsy. She will live the rest of her life institutionalized but how could she ever change? I don’t think she can.

Fast read. Entertaining enough I suppose. I am glad I got it on KU because it wasn't memorable enough to pay for.

This was on Kindle Unlimited and well, I love stories about serial killer's children. I thought this would be a good fit and a quick read.
A lot of people say that this is vile and dark. I guess to some it is but it won't really stand out with some of the other books I read. It also wasn't well written enough to stand out against those other books. In fact, the author kept spelling "laughter" wrong. This happened twice within just a few sentences and it was distracting.
There was no solid characterization, either. I know trauma can play a role in being unstable, as I have PTSD, myself. But this seemed unrealistic. The changing POVs also got confusing and I found myself not wanting to even try to keep up with it.
Two stars because the ending got crazy and the book did keep me interested. I read it all in one sitting. An easy, weird read.
