It very much feels like a book of its time. YA meets Criminal Minds. Cassie is not what I would call a compelling character but I would say the ending is a solid twist.

This book was an amazing intriguing story that has the reader second guessing on who they think is responsible all the way to the end. I would highly recommend to any true crime or mystery fan.
