dark mysterious sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.75

This a rather dark read as it follows Pamela’s quest to ensuring the killer of two girls in her sorority house is locked away for good. It’s a true crime type story. I gave it 3.75 stars just because it did get a little confusing in the middle as each chapter is a different character and time period; it jumped around quite a bit. Although he’s never mentioned by name, this is a loosely based story of the Ted Bundy murders at FSU and other places.
