"Although published years ago, I began reading this during the Murdaugh trial. Much of this story is about an exceptional dog named Kipp. I personally drew many parallels between him and Bubba (of Murdaugh fame) I tweeted Koontz to change Kipp's name! Delightful, quick read thriller!"

"DNF at an hour left : Horrible autistic rep<br/><br/>Honestly the overall story line was pretty good. I probably would have given it a 3.4-4 star. The autistic representation started out pretty eh. It’s the typical representation that we get all the time. Super genius, Sheldon cooper type, white, male. A harmful stereotype but get we it all the time so I’m used to it (although this book was published this year and the author should have researched autism better and consulted with the group he was actually writing about) I did love the mother son relationship. His mother is a good mother and never treats him like a burden. what really ****** me off and made me quit: they “CURED” his autism. Which is really offensive and unnecessary. There is no cure. If a “cure” existed we don’t want it. We do not need to be fixed. He could still have been autistic for the storyline. <br/><br/>Trigger warnings: murder, extreme violence, cannibalism, functioning labels, bad rep of autism, etc.<br/><br/>Representation: MC is autistic.<br/>Representation quality: 0/5"

"it has a really good plot and story line, is written well also however it’s just too short for me and /TOO/ fast paced for me. the whole series is.<br/><br/>i gave this book two stars because this book was good but I probably won't remember anything from it if you ask me about it in the future. I may not even remember the name. that’s why it’s two stars.<br/>"

"Good book. Liked it better than some of his others. Had a lot of potential but I feel like it had a lot of build up and then finished fast. I was 97% done and noticed that and was like what???! It can’t be almost over. "
