Audiobook. This is my second from this author and I think she's my new favorite. The writing is so beautiful and the plot leaves you guessing but not handed to you or left with holes. Major major trigger warnings though, this is not for the faint at heart. Could see this being a very good movie!

This book was SO GRAPHIC!! I read reviews and heard all about it on BookTok but nothing prepared me for the level of detailed torture and gross acts. PLEASE read triggers before reading this book. It had good twists and the ending was great. Just way more intense than I anticipated, and I watch a lot of true crime….

This is one of the best books I’ve ever read but dear GOD, even if you SWEAR you have no triggers, I am BEGGING YOU to look up the TWs
