This has been on my TBR for the longest time, but for some reason it took me forever to read. It’s deep and dark and actually the twists and turns had me so anxious reading. This is jam packed with triggers and spins and so much info.

This is definitely one of those books that made me feel like I was on a rollercoaster, both in terms of the story itself and how I felt about the book all throughout it. It's quite addictive, with so many little plot twists until the big final reveal, but there were also times I was unsure if I wanted to keep going. I'm glad I did, as the second half of the book is so much stronger than the first half, but it's a book you do have to push through to get to the good stuff. Will I read more of this author? For sure, I'm excited to see how his writing evolves!

Oh the twists and turns! A perfectly paced book with flashback scenes so good they made me nauseous. I finished in 3 days
