So, I can see why some people may feel like this book was trying to do too much, but I had a lot of fun with it. I didn't exactly go where I wanted it to go, even though I really thought I was right on a plot twist or too. I really enjoy books where you can see the killer's point of view , and the fact that this one still had some twists and turns was great for me. I also really enjoyed Hen's point of view, although I'm not sure how accurate of a depiction of bipolar is with it; Swanson also continues to do a decent job of a man writing a woman's view. I definitely didn't see the fact that he didn't have a brother and it was a split personality at all, and I felt incredibly stupid for not realizing that she almost slept with and then got almost raped by one of his victims.

WOWWW!! JUST WOWW
This may be in one of the top 10 thrillers that I have read for this year!! OMGG, AGAIN, WOWW
First 3 quarter of the book was so slow that I almost considered dnfing(no joke) but then since I had a few more chapters to go decided to continue and im so glad I did!! That twist is insane
I think Peter Swanson made the book so slow just for that huge twist and I love it. again so glad I read it and highly recommend!! Cant wait to read more books by him:)
