This book was just so incredibly written that I've had to stop and process this book once it ended! This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster that followed the lives of two friends over the next several decades after a horrific crime changed their lives forever.

I fell in love with Patch and Saint's characters and loved watching them grow up and deal with their own struggles yet always be there for each other. I really felt for Patch as he dealt with the aftermath of his kidnapping and his attempts to find the girl that helped save his life! Saint's life also didn't follow the path she expected but found her calling in helping others by becoming a police officer.

There were so many twists and turns in this book that with every reveal I wasn't sure who to trust anymore by the end. As the revaluations and certain characters come out my suspicions about who could be the serial killer kept changing and was still shocked by the ending.

I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed the narration! The short chapters were also a nice touch and made the book feel shorter than it was.
