3.0

Good pallet cleanser, like any thriller. Quick read, which I needed after getting through a long series (I’m looking at you 800+ page crescent city book 👀)

I went in blind so I had no idea what to expect. I would strongly suggest looking at the trigger warnings. 
Overall, I gave it 3 ⭐️ for being a quick, page turner and most of the story being captivating. But lost me at the end. 

I didn’t know there would be pedophilia. So, beware. I feel like the ending was so rushed. The girls finally tell the police about Nate but then he’s buried alive and the police just drop the case… I felt like I didn’t get to see justice served. Like, I get they said there’s nothing more terrifying to him than death, but I’m supposed to believe all those girls finally come forward and they are ok that he just disappeared? And then the twist at the end that Eve was doing the same thing to Hudson AKA “Jay” just didn’t sit well for me.
