I feel like this is the best thriller I’ve read in a while. Like a thriller that actually had twists and turns. This would make a great movie! A times the main character made me mad, but it was forgivable.

This one was rough. The story was engaging and I wanted to keep reading; while at the same time I never wanted to pick it up again. The violence was too much for me and there are some images that will haunt me for a long while. I would have enjoyed this book more if the focus had been more on the mystery aspect, and less on the SA descriptions.

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….
