I loved that we got to know more about the magic and how it worked, it made for a much more interesting and captivating story. I was slightly disappointed that there wasn't really any time travel but the other magical aspects did make up for it somewhat. I also really loved that it was the same cast of characters and that we got to know more about them. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to starting the third in the series!

It sucked me in right from the beginning, it’s been awhile since I’ve read a thriller that captured my attention so thoroughly. Normally I can see the plot twists coming from a mile away but this book kept me guessing the whole way through. I really enjoyed the main character, her past really intrigued me and I’d really love to know more about it!

This I’ve been fascinated by this case since studying it in college and I will greedily devour anything I can get my hands on concerning the subject. This is by far one of the most complete and easy to read ones I’ve crossed. It flows and it’s smooth and tells the story from beginning to end without any unnecessary additions and that’s something I truly appreciated. Highly recommend this one! ...more

It’s This story has absolutely fascinated me since I first heard of it and I’ve devoured anything and everything about it that I can get my hands on. It’s just such a wild and unbelievable story. I don’t think we’ll ever know what really happened and that’s what makes it so fascinating to me. I couldn’t have enjoyed the deep dive into this weird and puzzling story more! ...more

This one isn’t my favourite of hers that I’ve read but it’s definitely not amongst her worst either. This was such a sad and brutal story, I always find it hard to swallow how awful human beings can be and the terrible acts they commit towards one another. ...more
