The story kept me reading 'til late at night! It's an interesting take on the psyche of a killer. This book left me wondering how many killers are as scarred as the focal character of this story. I couldn't help but feel pity for him at some point.

That being said, I believe the author did a really good job of shifting the attention to other main characters as well, and she shed a light to the heartbreak and loss that happens within a perpetrator's family. All in all a good read!

This wasn't what I expected. I'm not actually sure what I expected but this story grabbed me right in and I loved every bit of it.

Alex & Eric are just children with parents constantly arguing and not getting on. Their mother does her best for them and their father is mostly at work and not very present. Sadly, they lose their mother in an accident with horrific scenes at her funeral.

Fast forward till they are grown men and Alex seems to be coping well. But young girls are going missing in his town. Is he involved? How badly did the past affect him? Eric has a family of his own and their father finally starts to make amends.

I won't spoil anything but it comes full circle and does so in which a great way. I wanted to give 5 stars but had a few remaining questions that needed answered.

This book relates to family drama and the supernatural. It’s a different take on the serial killer trope as it delves into family drama and the human condition. Will keep you on the edge of your seat and will have your heart racing.

A good old fashion page turner. Creepy yet I could not get more. Thank you so much for letting me read this ARC. 4/5. Great read.

When a debit author can create a good horror atmosphere with some added emotions it will hook you right in!

When I say my hair was raised and I got the chills, it gave me all the spooky vibes and spooky is my jam. I knew from the beginning I wouldn’t be able to put it down.

Each character came to life on this story and brought there own unique vibe the brought the book full circle and gave you everything you needed.

I cannot wait to read more from Joanna Wolford.

Special thanks to netgalley and booksgosocial for providing me with an ARC.

This book was easy to dive into and was also a heavy read for me. It starts off with two brothers who experience a traumatic loss of their mother when they were young. Then it goes to the present time after they’re adults. Alex is living on his own in another town, working and going to college. Eric is also in another town, having married and is raising three children. They both grew estranged from their father Gabe years after their mother Eleanor’s death. At the heart of the story is a hunt for a serial killer who is lurking in the shadows. As the plot progresses, we get to view things from multiple characters’ perspectives. At first I thought this was going to be more of a novel with supernatural elements because of the scary visions Alex had as a small boy. But it turned out to be more of a psychological and crime thriller. Some of the details reminded me of an episode of Criminal Minds. Overall it was hard for me to put down and I flew through it within two days. I flipped between sympathy for Alex and feeling horrified for what he had done. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review.
