This book is the reason I'm yawning on a Monday morning and it so wasn't worth it.
First off, a huge shoutout to the entire cast that narrated this book! I'd highly suggest picking up the audiobook since this book is basically a true crime podcast narrations style plus the narrators do a fabulous job.
Our main character Ryanna Raines is reporting on two teenage suspects of an insidious murder. If you're a fan of true crime I suspect you'll really enjoy this one. Inspired by a treu crime, the book digs deep into the psychology and background of the teenage suspects while exploring the suspects.
It took me a bit to get used to the narration style since it's almost like I'm listening to a podcast. And just when I got invested, really eager to get some answers the book ended ambiguously. IT WAS AN OPEN ENDING. Like oh you interpret what happened. NO WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!
This is exactly why I don't listen to true crime, because I hate not knowing who killed the people! The rage and fury I felt alone kept me up last night. It was soooo anticlimatic and I feel like the author didn't know how to end the book so it just ended very abruptly as well.
Such a disappointment honestly, now I'm going to be asking questions about the killer for days in my head. Ugh.
Maybe this might be your cup of tea but it certainly wasn't mine.
