dark medium-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Not a series that you can pick up somewhere in the middle. I did not connect with the characters - except to loathe Angie - even when she was trying to help - which dfe did in a very sick way.

4.5

A great and Graphic depiction of some dark twisted crimes. Even though we find out the truth halfway through the book the ending will leave you shocked. 

Is there such a thing as Justice? Who's crimes are worse? Lots of deep questions begging for your thoughts throughout the novel. 

If you like crime, gore, dark books this is a good one for you.
