When I saw this I had to have it, Thank you netgalley and to the publisher. I was captivated by the authors writing and the plot of the story. From the very beginning I was taken in. I found the pacing to be mid-level and it was perfect. I can’t wait to see what else the author writes.

I didn't realize the formatting for this would be very similar to those of the true crime genre and was a bit thrown off and confused by the chapters. Some were very intriguing, and then I would be confused since this is a journal, rather than a story from a point of view. For this reason, I wasn't able to full connect and finish this book. It got a bit easier to follow about halfway through, but I wasn't able to get fully engrossed in this book. I know true crime fans will love this one! Thank you for allowing me to read this. This my honest opinion I am voluntarily leaving.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for gifting me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

If you are a True Detective season 1 fan, you will EAT. THIS. UP. I really, really liked this book. This was fast-paced, twisty, and really well-written. I loved the element of the copycat killer folded in because it added an additional layer of uncertainty. The writing style through case study notes was soooooo good and unique that it kept me incredibly interested right up until the last page. Highly recommend to any police procedural or true crime fans. Four stars.

Tense, graphic, and addictive - reads like true crime, butt with more substance and emotion. Could it be real? The conspiracy to hide it could, which gives it all the more impact. Relentless and not for the squeamish, solid mystery - definitely recommended.

I really enjoyed the idea of this book and how the characters were used in this storyline. The horror element worked well overall and was engaged with the story of the serial killer. N. L. Lavin and Hunter Burke wrote this perfectly and was glad I was glad I got to read this.

This was very creepy and a thrilling read. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Ten years after the Blackburn cannibal killed himself, a forensic psychiatrist discovers he has ties to the man who killed and ate his victims. Creepy and intense

This was an okay read. A bit odd, but not terribly out there. I do think that the book was set up a bit weird and left me feeling as though I couldn't really connect with the characters.
