Honestly this had me gagged. The major plot twist at the 50% mark was so well executed and, though this might have been a byproduct of being sick while reading it, I never saw it coming. Fun, fast-paced, and the perfect book to kick off spooky season.

If this book isn't on your radar yet, it should be.

To go along with the content warnings; there is explicit mention of all of those things, though it is told through a female lens and dealt with quite well; there are infuriating moments that are there purposefully to illustrate examples of very real things that happen to survivors of SA and other violence/abuse

This was really fun! A great use of dual point of view. It kind of starts off like you think you know what’s going to happen but you don’t. Get em girl!!!

HOLY SHIT
WHAT
WOW
One sentence summary: I support women’s rights and I especially support women’s wrongs.
This is the best thriller I have read in a while MY GOD!!!! I absolutely loved this. I think my reading slump ruined it from being a 5⭐️ which is so unfortunate. It dragged a teeny bit in the middle but otherwise it was perfection. I loved how it didn’t follow the classic formula and it was like nothing I have ever read before! Definetly picking up more from this author!!!!!!!

A serial killer FMC with a thirst for justice with a dark academia setting? Excellent 👏🏼 A 4.5 star read for me. The dual POVs were well done and the twists were *chef's kiss*.
