I really enjoyed this book, as depraved as that sounds.
It had all the things a good mystery thriller should have. Jude is extremely well written, managing to give off bad-ass energy without being the typical "not like other girls" energy.
The story was gripping. Some places had a bit of unnecessary, scene-setting information that kind of pulled me out of the moment, but over all it was a thrilling ride.
I'm usually spot on with solving mysteries and while I did guess this one correctly, it made me second guess myself a few times.
This is definitely a dark and twisted story not for the faint of heart, and I strongly suggest you check trigger warnings before diving into this book.
