The multiple twists right at the end were a shock, I saw one coming but was not prepared for more. Definitely a lot of triggering and upsetting situations but a good thriller.

This book had promise but I didn’t enjoy any part of this book. Trigger warnings for: sa, child murder, attempted incest. 
The characters are flawed and really bad people. Near the end it feels like the author tries to change the readers sympathies by making the murderer more caring. It feels very against the information we've been given up to that point.
