Wow. This book had me on the edge of my seat. It is extremely dark and disturbing. Very graphic so definitely pay attention to the trigger warnings before reading. You really feel the grief and sadness of the characters as you read this. Especially with the journal entries. It was hard to stomach at times. I just love the way this was written with how it goes between the sisters and the dad. You can see how the loss of Julia affected everyone. Even the mom who tried to hide it so well. As I kept reading this I kept hoping for the best for this broken family but things just kept getting worse. As the crimes get unsurfaced things just get bleaker. I was really happy with the ending as well. All of my questions got answered and it ended on a better note.
