"It was a good story. I usually find myself bored with crime stories that aren’t based on real events. But it’s definitely worth the read for the story. Although, I find the twist at the end of books like this to be very cliché. But that’s just my opinion and we all know how everyone feels about those. "

"This was so MEH, i really didn’t care toward the end, i didn’t like the multiple point of views even though many enjoy it. I wouldn’t recommend this to my friends, it was also very long. "

"this book was . . . interesting. the writing was very good and the premise of a killer who hunts child abusers? amazing. however, it's BARELY a 5/10 for me, and here's why. first, and probably most obviously, it turns sexual abuse almost p0rnographic. a lot of books in this general subgenre do. second, some of the characters were downright annoying in a way you know the author didn't intend them to be. pointless and a waste of pages. 1/?"

"I almost never give 5 stars but this is one of the few books that I did not see the twist coming. The book is long but for good reason. It is a disturbing read with some themes that can be hard to get through but I thought it was excellent. I found myself remembering clues throughout the book but once you think you’ve got it, you don’t. "
