 This book had me in an absolute chokehold from the very beginning,  which feels so rare for me at this point. The author did an excellent job at yanking you in and then adding the usual fluff without being a slog to get through. The post book info and interview with the author was A+, especially learning that she is an autopsy tech which brought such a unique perspective and amazing detail to the book. I'm gonna need more from this author, STAT!

As a longtime Morbid listener I knew I needed this book and it was better than I imagined. I absolutely devoured this book. I loved the dual POV and the New Orleans setting. The twists and ending were so good.  I am so excited for Alaina and cannot wait to see what comes next.
