This one had a lot of potential I didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it either. There are A LOT of trigger warnings so be aware before reading. 

Erin dealt with an abusive situation way too young. Ricky Hell was on different level of psychotic and I felt like her dealings with him, childhood memories, the loss of her mother and sister, and the murders is why she abuses her pill prescriptions. Nobody was the same after the incident in the woods and since drugs were involved they didn’t remember what really happened either.

What made me originally think this would involve some satanic cult-like behavior was the death of Andre supposedly being a result of it. But Erin knew it was more to the story than devil worship because Ricky was also murdered. The more she uncovered the darker and more dangerous things got for her. 

The author was very descriptive in this one and didn’t hold back. I liked the dual timelines set in the 90’s and present day. The pacing was up and down until the last quarter which was when things got good. There were so many lies told to coverup the truth, learning Andre’s backstory and why he was actually murdered, and the police involvement threw such a huge loop in the story. 

Overall, this was meh I didn’t like that it had so many characters that always annoys me though. The ending with who was really involved in the murders got a little confusing because what you may think happened actually didn’t. I don’t fully recommend this one but if it’s on your radar I say go for it‼️
