I received a copy of this book from the author and am honored to share this completely honest review!
I finished this book in 2 days, that's the fastest I've ever read a book! It grabbed my attention immediately and wouldn't let it go!
I loved the way it was written and the inclusion of podcast episodes. The inclusion of listeners comments in forum discussions about the episodes was fun too. I found it very entertaining and it's part of the reason I couldn't put it down.
The main characters are flawed, making them feel very real and relatable.
Overall, if you love true crime, podcasts, and solving mysteries, you'll love this book! It does spoil some aspects of the author's first book, The Machineel, so you may want to read that first. And, as always, check out the content and trigger warnings before reading!
This is a great, quick read and I highly recommend it!
