I love how the characters become more complicated all the way through the book in a way that complicated and thickened the plot. Being able to experience this book as a deep Morbid podcast enthusiast was exciting, especially being able to catch references to things Alaina and Ash have discussed (BTK sucks). Very glad I picked this book up and excited for the sequel!

The small chapters make it easy to digest and the alternating chapters between the two main characters makes the book fly by. Although the twist was somewhat predictable, it still caught me off guard as the puzzle pieces slowly were put together.

The twist was something I wasn’t expecting at all. Good story, good characters, good writing. Very creative! It was the first book I’ve read that gives us the killers perspective. Very excited for the second book to be released!
