I’m a sucker for medical anything and this was full of it. I enjoyed the bracelet aspect to reassure my assumption. I thought the transition of reveal could have been better, cleaner. ( )

I’ll skip to my very strong feelings regarding this book: if it has zero haters I am dead. Now that I’ve got that out of the way, yes, I loathed this book. This book had so many issues I’m not quite sure where to start but I’ll give it my best go. First, I found the characters to be so boring and dull it made it hard to care about what was happening. I can’t remember the last time I encountered such boring and cardboard-like protagonists and antagonist. Even after revealing of the motivations of said characters, it felt like reading a poorly scripted play. The villain isn’t really given a reason as to why he is the way he is, which has the potential to be appreciated. Not every antagonist needs grandiose reasons for they’re evil or wrong. However, the danger with writing a character in that manner, is that unless you give them other personality aspects, it feels like a cheap attempt at writing a “truly evil” character.

The story follows the two titular characters Dr. Wren, a forensic pathologist, and “The Butcher”, a notorious serial killer whose brutalized victims are ending up on Wren’s table. While the premise and even the pacing of this book kept me hooked, there were so many inconsistencies this piece of work had me stifling multiple groans. The “big reveal” was so poorly built up that I kind of just shrugged and kept reading, pushing for the ending. And that is a saving grace for this book, is that it’s so short, it’s really quick to put you out of your misery. Once I reached the ending, I really was miserable. And that’s cause nothing makes you miserable quite like realizing what a massive waste of time the whole thing was. I reached the end of this book and found no satisfaction, no resolution, and no pay off. The ending itself was rushed and left me feeling it was all for naught. I would say do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Well this book was described as the serial killer thriller of the year and I can confidently say with my hand on my heart that it is most certainly true!
It’s only the middle of June but this is definitely a major contender for my book of the year!
Jeremy, I hope we meet again ( )

Hated that this book had to end and that the next one isn't out yet. Definitely a page turner that I couldn't put down! ( )

4.5 stars rounded up.
I enjoyed this cat and mouse thriller told from my backyard in the bayou.
The ending left this book wide open for a book two and I am excited to see where it shall take us. ( )
