Great thriller. While I wish there was an epilogue from Cecelia, just to get her view, still a 5 star read for me. I did the audio and it was immaculate.

I was intrigued from beginning until the near end. The second person POV really made the story. I would have appreciated more repercussions for Aidan and more healing for May/Rachel.

sasha_is_reading's review against another edition

Not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't the narratives of a bunch of women whose only known ttait is that they know the same handsome serial killer. TBH this was so uncomfortable to read I thought it was written by a man.
