I loved this book except for it felt like Josie was blamed for having a relationship with Walter even though she was 14-16 and he was in his 40s if not for that, I would have given this book a 4.25 easily. I listened to the audiobook and it was immersive and so well done. The story kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat. I read a good majority suspense/thriller/horror novels, and this was definitely one of the books that I could not predict where it was going, and I loved that. Check your content warnings!!
