Awesome

Loved the book, excited for the next one

Great Page Turner

I greatly enjoyed this page turner!! It took me no time to finish because I couldn't put it down. I Loved her detail thru out the whole book. I enjoyed that she added Marie Laveau in the story, especially I know most people my age (42 and under lol) has no clue who she is. I really enjoyed that along with the Ted Bundy joke only a true crime junkie would enjoy. I just ordered Die Jagd... can't wait to read it!!

Eh

Started out really promising and intriguing. Quick read. Ending kind of ruined it for me. Just seemed rushed with unnecessary plot "twists." I'm a fan of the Morbid podcast and was rooting for Alaina on this one. But overall just okay.

A must read!!

Of course I’m a huge fan of Morbid, but Alaina really outdid herself with this book! She’s an amazing author and paints a perfect picture of crime from not only the killers POV but the officials working the case!

This Book!

This book had me losing sleep! I didn’t want to put it down! If you are into thrillers, true crime, and twists this is the book for you!
