nikkihall's review against another edition

While well written, this was horrifying to read. This woman's actions are truly evil and I just couldn't read any more.

4.0

disgusting and disturbing and violent and engaging AND TRUE. the way that this book is written sucked me in so deep. the ending moved a little quick for how long I felt invested, but maybe that’s just how true crime is?

maruchan's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

I don't know how to rate this book.

Should I give if five stars so people know I recommend it?

I feel bad giving a rating to an experience so raw.

What happened to this girl's is simply awful. Can't be put into words. Please know that this is a really painful read. It will stay with me for a long, long time. 

How can a person be so rotten inside? We will never know. I feel so bad knowing she was released from jail. Justice wasn't served enough.

Please read this. Even tho it's hard, the sisters deserve their story to be known. 

This book was so well written, it felt like fiction. I wish it was fiction.
