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.
