This book was a last minute pick up at the library as I was checking out and it just sounded like something I would devour and I did. 

I’m a true crime girlie, documentaries, books, podcasts- I’m there. I’ll walk my dog at night while listening to a true crime podcast like I’m not a potential target. 

I had high hopes for this book and they weren’t ALL dashed but I think my expectations were just too high. There were a few twists which were amazing, I have to say that I did figure it out (I always do) and I even took a picture of the page that did it for me (page 132 if you’re wondering). Not only was the main character frustrating, naive, unlikable and frankly dumb but the book started to drag. At the start of the book it took a while to get into the story, I’m surprised it held my interest, I think it was the style of writing that did it. We reach a lull in the middle of the book when the courtroom hearing is happening BUT push through! 

We all wonder about those women that “fall in love” with serial killers and try to wrap our heads around the why of it all, this was I think just a little look into what goes through their heads. I wanted to yell “are you crazy!?” A million times. 

All in all, It was a fun read and completely engrossing however, it could have been sped up a little.
