The ending was rushed. Could have spent more time developing some of the characters or a better ending.

I won an advance copy of this book via goodreads and Harper publishing. Loved the book. Could see it being made into a movie.

Alternately tells the POV of a divorced couple, Gaby and Ben, and a serial killer, Alex. All of them have suffered the death of a child and they will chillingly become intertwined. Alex kills in one of the most terrifying ways I've come across in a serial killer book. I enjoyed both the story, and the writing, and found the plot unique. However, it was all predictable and while an interesting story it wasn't thrilling. I'll read the author again, though.

Couldn't connect with the setting and characters felt too much older than me.
