This book was great. I really enjoyed it and it kept me more engaged than I was expecting.

The initial plot twist of Tricia killing Dr. Hale came off as unrealistic to me at first. I know we get her POV for the story, so we don’t see all of her issues, but it felt like I was blindsided (and not in a good way). Ethan was made out to be TOO sweet and TOO caring, so it seemed more plausible for it to be him. But then I kept reading and learned they’re both crazy, so it worked out. I do think it’s messed up Luke had to go, though. He was genuinely a good sweet guy. Overall, I enjoyed the story and the culmination of events. Although I don’t think those psychopaths should continue reproducing.
