Amazing plot twist that I did not see coming at all. A somewhat difficult glimpse at struggles with grief and mental wellness, but then with twists and turns throughout.

Wild book, like gay criminal minds meets x-files. Paige is such a loveable character and CJ sucks; her personality does not match her back story which is frustrating.

This book starts off very slowly. I almost gave up. Then suddenly I was in jt. I think it had something to do with the writing style, lots of flashback/memory moments
