For anyone who needs info on the rape trigger

it's statutory rape that the author makes clear the MC initiated. Still SR obviously but it's not on page, only mentioned historically and isn't violent. About as consensual as SR can be (a 15 year old who asks the guy to buy her beer can't properly consent but again the MC seeks the guy out and initiated)

Even though it was a little predictable, I really enjoyed this book. Sometimes figuring out the answers ahead of time gives you satisfaction instead of annoyance, and there were enough twists that I didn't see them all coming. 

I don't read thrillers often so I'm probably not the best reviewer for it but it was pretty good as far as tension and mystery. 

The spice level was good for me (fade to black).

This is the type of thriller that I live for. The one that sneaks up on you in ways other than the ones that you are expecting. I was pretty close guessing where this story was going to go but never could I have ever guessed the way that we got there or the precise ending. Kate Alice Marshall has a gift and a curse. She goes dark and it gets deep. This one left me absolutely gutted. I would love to see this book play out as a limited series on Netflix or Prime. The right cast could do wonders with the characters penned and circumstances paged here.

idk if it's really a 5 star thriller or if I'm just emotional because I'm 4 days sober from those fun life ruining opiates but either way, I can't think of any way to improve this one so I suppose it's a 5 star 🤷🏼‍♀️. plus it's beautifully written and the characters are so real you can taste them.
