First Strand's story I tried and I liked it. Characters are believable and lovable in some weird demented way. It's well written. I listen to the audiobook and i don't regret it as the narration what pretty good and the atmosphere was neat, mysterious, weirdly and murderously neat. Intense and dark. though, I found the end kind of rushed. But all together a good book. Enough for me to take a look at the rest of Strand's work in a near future.

I loved this coming of age story. A boys best friend is murdered and he confronts the killer since the police don't have enough evidence. The tension was intense and I really enjoyed this.

i do not understand how people rated this highly... its so insanely juvenile that, if not for the mature topics, i'd be convinced its a middle-grade book. it was no where close to a horror or a thriller for me, there was nothing suspenseful or making me want to continue reading, and the violence/horror-adjacent parts just felt edgy for the sake of being edgy. everything felt put together haphazardly. and the ending just came completely out of the blue like.. the hell? i did not like this at all

I loved this book! While I think they talked about the main character being fat a little too often for my taste, it was such a fun ride. Loved the main character, and his emotional journey, and the ending though a bit rushed was great!

AUDIOBOOK

I loved this audio and the narrator just added to the darkness of the thriller. I was so desperate for the boy to get justice for his friend and it was so frustrating that no one seemed to believe him. It’s quite a dark and twisted tale but a great listen.

Pretty Good Quick Read

I enjoyed reliving awkward youth encounters and relationships through this book. The story developed quickly and was easy to follow.
