I just….. wow. I really didn’t see that coming. and I DEFINITELY didn’t see the second hidden little jab coming either. This was an emotional rollercoaster of a book but it kept me on my toes!!

Picked up this book because it was on Kindle Unlimited and I enjoyed the authors Tiktok account. But oh man was this a hot mess of a book. Only reason I didn’t DNF was I wanted to know who the killer was and WOW was that ending unsatisfying and way out of left field. Not a single character had any redeeming qualities or a single shred of my sympathy or respect left by the end. Not to mention just how entirely unrealistic or feasible this entire investigation and scenario was from a legal standpoint. We also had some very poor references/depictions of assault and police brutality. I reserve one star reviews for books I DNF but honestly I am tempted to break my rule for this one.

I have very mixed feelings about this book, at first, I was enjoying the book but as it went on it become very all over the place and things didn't add up. For example

when they get the interview with Kelly's stalker Jesse when he mentions seeing her with a cop the cop explains it away as oh it's her husband, he's a cop but in my head if he's a stalker he would know if he was her husband or not just another cop and they don't look into it anymore cop or anyone else in the investigation and that annoyed the hell out of me. Obviously, I know it was done on kind on purpose since they didn't want him to get off anyways but little things like this annoying throughout the book.

The book just turned into a shit storm at the end, and it wasn't a great one it just more made me pissed more than anything and felt like a waste of time.
