Thankyou NetGalley and Random house Canada for this advanced reader copy for this debut book!

The blurb was so intriguing that I was so excited to get into it. A bunch of kids with psychopathic tendencies being somewhat reprogrammed to be ‘normal’ is a truly delicious premise. It gave me a bit of stranger things vibes and I was hoping for something like that.

The book is nothing like that. It reads like two completely separate stories that eventually merge into one not so intriguing mystery.

I liked Cate a lot and I would’ve loved to follow her story and interactions only. The research done for this book by the author shines through on every page but for me it never became a thriller that it promised to be.
