Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

A gory horror story about a string of murders of East Asian women set during 2020/Covid. There was a lot of elements that made up this book from ghosts and hauntings but the most horrific is the real life racism and violence portrayed that so many still face today. This put me through all the emotions but is such a powerful message.
