Sara Shepard's M.O. is "let's serve nothing throughout the whole novel and add a random murder/traumatic event at the end every time" and it shows. I'm also still having issues with the use of harmful, fatphobic language and the use of the r word as an insult/slur was not it. Sara Shepard's view of those in mental health facilities was also not great - perpetuating the stereotype that all those seeking help with their mental health are "crazy" was eye-rolling to say the least. Although the last cliffhanger in "Killer" kept me interested, the big reveal Jenna being murdered at the end of this one did nothing for me - I've just... stopped caring? I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not sure why this series is as long as it is - the novelty of this series has definitely worn off for me.
