4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book up until the ending. The characters were intriguing and easy to call in love with. It was realistic enough to be truly terrifying. Unfortunately that realism is a huge contributor to the ending being trash.
How the discovery of the girls was handled in a completely realistic fashion ruined it for me. I wanted bigger and more romantic, not the cops coming in before he kills the main character and everything going black.
