DNF @ 27%

I was very intrigued by the premise but this book was so dark that I couldn’t continue. We spend too much time in a serial killer’s mind.. it’s quite disturbing and in my opinion unnecessary for this kind of story. The other stories aren’t as uncomfortable but have all been somewhat sad/unbelievable. I also thought there were too many characters to keep up with and I disliked the simple writing. The unlikeable characters and writing often annoyed me.
