Fair warning, this story is incredibly, gut-wrenchingly sad. Desperately sad. It's an important story and I'm glad I know it because I feel as though the victims deserve to be known, but I felt very emotional many times reading this - just a warning to those who are sensitive to graphic violence.

I enjoy Ryan Green as a true crime author immensely. I like his voice, his style and his very personal presentations of these stories.

Very disturbing true crime novel.

Brutal




I don’t know how to rate this book. I can’t give it stars. It’s gruesome. It’s heartbreaking. What’s scary is that it’s not fiction.

I've heard of this case before, on a podcast I think, but this book brought the full horrifying details to life.

This story was hard to read. Even more awful that it's true.
