This book is beyond amazing. From the beginning the writing is phenomenal and the descriptions literal made me cringe and shiver from the descriptiveness . The characters made sense for the story and felt very realistic. I really was trying so hard to put together the mystery and when the killer is revealed I was like oh my god. The killer made sense but I just didn't see it coming, I was very much rooting for someone else. This book is a really page turner, I listened to it on  audiobook and had times where ppl were trying to talk to me and I was like no good audio book. The usage of references to greek mythology and how it plays into the killer's story is amazing. I will forever recommend this book.
