Two words for this story, dark and twisted! 
As the story had some events and topics that might be sensitive to some readers, I suggest checking out the trigger warnings before diving into this one. 
 
Short chapters and easy-to-read writing style had me hooked into the story pretty fast right from the start. 
I also like a couple of quotes from other people’s point of view about the Wultz family and the Folcram Party incident which gives some insight for the readers about what’s going on. 
 
The main character, Perla is not a likeable character and you’ll get what I mean if you read this story. I didn’t mind it and I keep on reading because I was interested in the mystery and how’s every puzzle pieces scattered throughout the story will be connected. 
 
I have to say I figured out the big reveal pretty early on like around 30-40% of the story but I’m still able to enjoy reading this story and see how everything unfolds in the end. 
 
Overall, it’s a very thrilling, dark and twisted psychological thriller.  
It was such a page turner, my eyes are glued to my kindle…. 
This is not my first read by this author and won’t be the last either, I’m definitely looking forward to read more books by this author in the future! 
 
I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
