Well.. this book consumed me to the point I physically couldn’t put it down. Dark, sinister, twisty, suspenseful, captivating, thought-provoking, addictive, completely jaw-dropping, breathtaking.. the list could go on. Verity had to say the least some pretty fucked up chapters where I literally through the book away from me I was so disgusted. I wanted to claw my eyes out with what I was reading, yet it had me going back for more. It is incredibly well-written but I felt the ending was a bit rushed. I haven’t read anything like Verity before and I have read a few CoHo books but this is definitely different to anything else she has written.

Did I think this was a perfect plot? No, and I feel like I've seen a few movies that do this same thing. BUT, I will say that I can see how people can get hooked by Hoover's writing because I found myself really wanting to just drop everything to read this book. If I had a day to do absolutely nothing, I 1000% would've devoured this in one go.

I couldn't put this book down I mean the characters were all so interesting and at the end I still don't know what to think. This book is creepy, thrilling, and very tense and dark. It's definitely a psychological thriller.

meh didn't really like the book and it was very predictable. I feel like a lot of the appeal comes from the scandal of it all but it's just poorly written and I’m not super interested in this sensationalism. feels like it's just a bunch of sad and dark stuff thrown in together for a sad and dark soup
