this was everything I wanted it to be and more! it gave the chestnut man vibes with the spooky creepy serial killer on the loose and the paranormal lore surrounding it đł
while Iâm not usually one for horror, this felt just the perfect amount of scary mixed in with a typical detective procedural! the âdaughter of a murdererâ trope is a bit overdone, in my opinion, but this one was written so well! I was fully invested in finding out the detectiveâs lost memories and what really was the truth about her childhoodâŚ
the length of the book was pretty heavy and dragged on at times, but I enjoyed it all the same. for a story with extremely gruesome detail, it read like a spooky halloween thriller and didnât spend much time on the actual deaths of the victims (which my gentle soul appreciates)
I did guess the ultimate plot twist as I was able to figure it out based on the clues the author dropped, but it played out was fun and intriguing and kept my interest until the end. what a fabulous debut thriller!!!!!
