A lot of unnecessary scene setting - clothes descriptions, random gestures, etc - and not enough character depth. Story lines fell flat, and as an avid reader of this genre, I pinned the killer by the middle of the book. The ending was a bit too well packaged for me as well - I could have dealt without the last few chapters entirely.
The story was fun, fast paced and thrilling - I listened to the audio book and loved it. I would recommend to folks new to the genre with a big ol trigger warning attached.

Sure, it was a sort of interesting twist, but it did not wow me or feel neatly tied in a bow.
The antagonists felt a little clichè and I did not feel much towards them.
An easy read, but not one with that much substance. Glad to have read, but I probably won't think about it again...

there were so many layers to this plot and everytime you pulled back one layer, there was yet another until you hit the center of the onion and everything hits you all at once. amazing read.

Six Dead Teens. A Serial Killer On The Loose.
Dr. Moore is an expert on killers but when she meets Robert Gavin, the father of BH Killers 6th victim, she starts to question herself. He’s very alluring but he’s hiding something from her and she just can’t put her finger on it. Robert hires Dr. Moore and together they look into the mind of the BH Killer, but it’s not who’s being accused did she miss something what is the 7th victim hiding since he escaped? So many twists and hidden secrets in this psychological thriller it was keep you reading until the last page.
This is my second book by A.R. Torre and I’m definitely in love with the style of writing! I love a good book that keeps me guessing until the end. I highly recommend this book to my fellow thriller lovers!

I would've rated it higher if not for certain things that happened closer to the ending. Like I said, I'm a Psychology student, and some of the actions that Gwen (the main character) took struck me as really unethical and improper. I couldn't really relate to her because of this.
