Read Completed 5/14/24 | 3.5 - 3.75 stars, rounded up 

This was a really fun, high octane thriller read that read like a horror/slasher once things got going. I liked that this was fast-paced and addicting to read! I flew through this, reading as hardcover while on vacation when I haven’t read a physical book in ages. 

I did have a lot of things that pulled me out of the book, though. The author had a lot of inaccuracies that either had me looking things up to see if it’s even true/possible or rolling my eyes because I knew it wasn’t. I also could have done without some of the more distasteful and offensive things in the book. It’s weird and unnecessary to include random slurs and child abuse just for the sake of making bad characters. The baddies were already creepy and gross and it really didn’t need to be a part of the book. 

This was definitely a popcorn thriller, leading readers on a wild, intense, and brutal journey. I actually had a lot of fun reading it and while it’s not mind-blowing, I love those books where I can just race through them, just enjoying the experience!
