Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This story genuinely took me by surprise with its fast pacing and dark story. I expected this to be a standard contemporary tale about grief and how we process it differently. However, I got a thriller, and I could not be more pleased. This book is dark, and bloody, and still raw in an emotional way. Kamal did a fantastic job of addressing several different issues, without ever making the plot lull.

Overall, this book took me by surprise. My only criticisms was that because it was so fast paced, there was some overall plot parts that got confusing. It was hard to always know what was going on and when, especially with the illustrative paranormal happening. I enjoyed it greatly and appreciate that things weren’t wrapped up with a shiny “everyone learned a lesson and is a better person now” bow.

Full review will be posted on my blog on November 12th, 2021.
