Such a unique and fun read!! Unlike anything i have read before. From the beginning itself we know who the killer is and since it is told from his pov we get a glimpse into his mind and thoughts which was kinda creepy at times.
This has the book within a book trope and the other pov was the true crime memoir of eve black. The memoir was written in such a way that you feel like you are reading an actual true crime book! And there were many times while reading where I got the chills coz some parts were so descriptive and I felt like I was watching a movie. Actually it was so freaky at times that I had to stop and take a break and then continue. Im glad I read it as soon as I bought it coz otherwise it would have been on my shelf for a loongg time. If you love true crime, book within a book, told from serial killers pov you will prob enjoy this!! Highly recommend:)
