A thriller that did shock me, just not in the way I was expecting it to. In the same note it disturbed me most when I was not expecting it. By this I’m referencing finding out Sebastian had groomed Zoe
I’m assuming since he’d met her as a little girl. Made my stomach turn. Though I had a feeling Zoe was in on the murders, I did not expect that. The one thing I really don’t like about this book is how they try to make psychoanalysis into something so simple. “I can see it in your eyes,” and things like that throughout the book made me roll my eyes as someone who actually works in the mental health field.
