Hunting Annabelle by Wendy Heard
4.0
What a ride. Loved this one. I was initially worried that it was going to play into the "mentally ill people are violent" trope, but it really doesn't! Loved the writing, the pace, and the mystery. I mostly enjoyed learning about Sean's brain and his process of getting help.
*SPOILERS FROM HERE ON*
One thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the ending. Specifically, Sean and Annabelle's relationship at the end. You mean to tell me that Sean spent the whole book trying to avoid his urges, fighting with his morals vs. instinct, just for him to become a killer alongside Annabelle? I would think that he would have killed her and gotten blamed for the whole thing, thus spending more years in jail. Idk, seemed a bit out of character for him, at least to me.
