Genre: Thriller/Psychological
Review: Library book
When a supposed serial killer and a supposed psychopath come together, things end very very badly—one bloody body at a time.
Someone is guilty. Someone is lying. Someone will not survive.
Aubree Van Lullen is smitten by Peter Woodley despite the fact he’s accused of killing his former wife, despite the fact he’s accused of killing his two children.
Peter Woodley is smitten by Aubree Van Lullen despite the fact she is accused of fleecing half of the country by way of faking an illness for the better part of her life, despite the fact she’s had a psychologically damaging childhood. Peter is so smitten by Aubree, he changes his identity for her and whisks her away to build a brand new life.
One day a mysterious package arrives containing dozens of journals from Peter’s first wife, and Aubree is riveted by them.
She’ll tell Peter about the journals soon enough.
Just one more page and then he can have them.
And then there are the bodies. One after another, wherever Peter seems to go, a grisly homicide takes place. Something is amiss. Aubree untangles one dark secret after another, only to have her own past come back to haunt her.
But it’s far from the end of her story. It’s just the horrible beginning.

Trigger warning: There is an animal death. What was going on in this book? Like for real. I saw this and read the back and was like ohh up my alley let me see what is going to happen. Now, it is not a long book and one I read in one sitting (kinda made my hubby jelly lol). With that said. Dead bodies showed up and not one officer or detective showed up to piece anything together. Also, why was Peter never arrested? I felt like this book left a lot out. Now let's talk about personality characters. None of them had anything going on with them that made them stand out. I just felt it left out a lot that it needed to make it a great story. It just felt like it was a story without any wow factor it was just bland. I may try to read something else by this author to see if her writing gets any better.
