Loved this book! I’m not a huge fiction reader so I asked some friends for a rec and so glad they sent this one my way. I was hooked after the first couple of chapters and really loved the cast of characters. Definitely a dark read, but so important given our current sociopolitical state.

When I first started this book, I honestly thought it was getting a 5✨. But I think that this needed a couple of more edits to make the story flow better because some of the descriptions were just not necessary. But the bad guy…. He was CREEPY. The lead up to finding him was giving me goosebumps. I was checking behind my shower curtain because of the descriptions of him and what he did. I do not love this one as much as razorblade tears but I think I will read all of his works.

Absolutely enthralling! I had never read anything by him before and absolutely loved it. I listened to the audiobook and loved it. The plot moves at a good pace. And tbh I think it would be an excellent tv series, in the right hands.

5.0

HO-LY shit, this book had me on my toes! Very dark, and graphic crimes, but it was suspenseful and tense like a good crime novel. I loved Titus, the main character, the first Black sheriff of Charon county, and his backstory and character arc are fantastic. The writing makes it nearly a literary masterpiece, if it weren't for the murder-mystery aspect. Couldn't put this one down.
