4.0

A quick, atmospheric, and captivating read. I love reading books where the main character is the "villain." If you're going into this book expecting to like these characters, brace yourself, because they are not likable.

The POV of this book offered an interesting and more intimate perspective. The reader got to see directly into the mind of psychopathy.

Please check the trigger warnings before reading this. I cannot stress this enough. There are brutal animal and child deaths within this book that could be triggering.

For being such a quick read, I thought the story was well done. The characters didn't feel underdeveloped to me at all and the writing was wonderful.
