Okay this book is DARK. I hated the ending and I am kind of mad that it couldn't be included as a trigger warning without spoiling the whole book because I never would have read it (it's my ONE trigger that terrifies me).  If you are in for something dark, this is a perfectly crafted story with so many twists and wonderful writing. I loved getting to know both MCs. Usually when a reporter is included in this type of story they are nosey, rude, and annoying and you want to throttle them for getting in the way. This reporter was actually more endearing and lively than the detective and I was was more invested in her story.  This story explores the double standards and dangers of just being a woman, which is perfectly timely as this never seems to get better. It was tough and heartbreaking and dark, but also I love how the women support each other and how everything comes together.

Note: I listened to the audiobook and the dual narration was amazing!

Thanks to the publishers for a free copy of this book; my review and thoughts are my own.
