Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC! 

Me thinking I got a Freida book figured out is so laughable. I picked out a person in the beginning & halfway through & neither were it. This is a HIGHLY underrated Freida McFadden book. This one kept me from putting it down at almost every chapter, I felt like I just had to get to the bottom of it with all the twists & turns! I thought the more of her books I read, the easier it would be to pick out the culprit early on, jokes on me though!

This was a quick and fun read - as fun as a book can be with serial killers and mutilations. I don’t read many thrillers but this was engaging and I did not predict the ending, which I think is what you’re going for with a thriller. The main character did feel a little flat, but I get that was part of her character. The writing was competent and allowed me to get pulled into the story. It wasn’t particular complicated or nuanced but it was well-structured and every element built the mystery. And for anyone worried, the cat is fine!

Not bad, but I wasn’t happy with it. Yelling at the MC for most of the book. Dragged on at some parts — I skimmed past a few chapters. Unexpected twist though! I did not like the RI —he felt manipulative and boring.
