I found this book through TikTok, as I’m sure most recent readers did. I am always a bit hesitant reading anything that’s been hyped up on social media, but this book was phenomenal. I loved the detailed writing style, it made me feel like I was watching an episode of Criminal Minds. The small details and story lines woven through the book were phenomenal, and I was on the edge of my seat until the very end. The ending of this book was unexpected for me, even as a self-proclaimed true crime enthusiast. I can’t wait to read the sequel coming in August, and I think I’ve found a new favorite author! Devereux is truly a literary genius in my book

If you love true crime, thrillers, mysteries or plot twists this book is for you! I have crippling ADHD - not the kind that you see on TikTok that is meme worthy. I mean the kind where it takes all day to do a simple task. Keep this in mind when I say I could not put this down at all. Anytime I tried to wander off to do something else this book was pulling me back wanting to know more, needing to know more. I am the type of person who usually guesses the endings of books after reading the first few chapters. But with how Lloyd Devereux Richards crafted this masterpiece I was thrown for a loop at every turn - right until the end. I am hoping that he releases another book at some point because I am now addicted to this mans writing.
