When Claire's husband is murdered right in front of her, she slowly unravels secrets of the past and present. She doesn't know who she can trust in a search to understand a possible serial killer.
A thorough web of interlinking. A believable yet shocking villain. Sisters who are full of a dark past. Gory and descriptive. Not for the sensitive.

I might get some heat for this, but this one was almost a DNF until about 65/70% of the way in. The writing style was hard for me to get in to. I felt like I was originally getting so much back story that I kept getting lost in what was actually going on. I’m happy we got the POV from Claire and Lydia, but it all bounced all over the place a little bit.
The ending was really great though. I love when the bad guy gets what they deserve in stories like this. There were definitely parts that hit parts of my emotions that took my by surprise.
One thing I really think would’ve helped the book were shorter chapters. I find I read books much faster if the chapters are shorter. Not sure why, but it helps!

I am not good at reviews. But that was intense and a bit traumatizing. It was amazing.
