The Perfect Victim by David Sodergren

4.0

Really had no idea what to expect from this book! I read a few pages and couldn’t tell if this was going to just be some awful child SA fantasy filled story. Thankfully, the story quickly gains more depth. 

It’s fast-paced, stabby, quick. I got halfway through and had to leave for dinner, almost cancelled my plans so I could keep reading. Came back and finished it the same night. 

It’s gory but the gore isn’t over the top or there just for shock value, there is one scene in particular that made me feel awful and had a hard time shaking the visuals of that from my head. 

The last bit felt like it was a weird mix of Hard Candy and Home Alone. 

A super fun read.
