Ugh 

I see a lot of reviews saying that they had to DNF this book because of the writing style. That was my struggle. The plot was interesting, but the execution sucked. The writing was weird. The storyline took too long to come together. The author mentioned the characters’ race in strange and unnecessary ways. It seemed like he fetishized Black people. I kept pushing because the suspense was good. I wanted to see if and how Harry would get caught. I liked getting the story from his perspective even though he was creepy AF. The plot twist at the end was bizarre, but it made me want to know just a little bit more. This could’ve been a good thriller if the writing had been better.
