 Not gonna lie i was worried for a minute. Everyone kept saying this book is soooo good, but I just thought it was okay. A girl with a serial killer dad that directly or indirectly influenced her own dark side. Okay cool. A cold-hearted mother who was jealous of her own daughter, rude but not special.

Around 60% in I questioned if I should even finish this. Not because it was bad but because I felt like it was missing the WOW factor.

BITCH!!!!!!

I am so glad that I didn't stop reading. The WOW came, the weird, creepy, WTF twist dropped, and I was shook. I couldn't put this book down. I had to power read the ending and was light weight sad when it ended. I want, no need a epilogue or follow up novella or something.

This was a horror slow burn.
