Super intense book, but very informative. I liked that this went into detail for multiple cases, really interesting to see the differences in each case but also how similar they all are. Absolutely horrifying that some people don't see medical abuse as child abuse, but so glad there are people like Mike in the world to fight against it!

I loved the dark academia aspect of this, and the twists and turns keep you engaged and entertained throughout the entire book. I liked reading the two perspectives, but the multitude of characters made it a bit confusing at times. Overall it was a good thriller!

It was a good thriller, but was very predictable. The characters were well written and it was a compelling story, but nothing unique or special. 

A good, easy thriller that's perfect as an audiobook! A good plot, fun characters, and a few twists! It was pretty predictable, but a great choice for someone who wants something captivating and easy to follow!

Absolutely loved this thriller!! Everything was so well written and I didn't want to put this book down. Highly recommend!

I read this so quickly because I just wanted to know what happened next!! The characters were very well written, the action was immediate and very suspenseful, and the twists kept the plot super engaging! The only thing that I didn't like was the murderer reveal was a bit too sudden and clean, but it didn't take away from the rest of the book! I really loved this one and would highly recommend to all thriller lovers!

This book was so intense from start to finish!! There's a lot of killing, so quite a bit of gore, but it all made sense for the story. I was so invested in every moment and literally couldn't put this down! I read it all in one sitting and wished there was more!!

I wanted to love this one so much more. It had so much potential, but fell flat in so many areas. Until halfway through the book I thought the murderer was written from the POV of a specific sister, until I realized it was supposed to be open ended. That made it super confusing, but was definitely my mistake. I really didn't love or connect with any of the sisters, they just felt boring and not fully formed. The ending was SO dull. It was super sudden, absolutely no climax to the story, and was super predictable. This has a pretty heavy amount of gore and trauma, highly recommend reading the TWs before going into this one.
