This book wasn't for me...

I really wanted to like it but I just couldn't get into it. The first 60% dragged. I wanted more depth to each of the first few years of the murder games between Rowan and Sloane. It was hard to root for these characters to be together and then hard to believe how quickly they fell for each other when to me the build-up felt lacking. 

Also, I'm usually not squeamish but wow this book had my tummy churning lol

Definitely read the content/trigger warnings that are included at the beginning of the book!!!!!!
