3.0

I had such high hopes for this book...however it did feel like it was dragging so much with the plot/characters. I didn't find too much satisfaction in the end. I did enjoy the thrill of trying to figure out what was going on but got lost at times with a lot of the facts [there was a lot of forensic and medical terminology with not a lot of explanation] If you enjoy anything like criminal minds, or silence of the lambs, this is for you.

It was absolutely incredible. Finished it in 3 hours because I just had to know what happens.
