" This book is under the category of psychological, puzzle, multiple viewpoints, and whodunnit. The story was full of action, very much a thriller/ suspenseful vibe which kept me guessing and enthralled the entire book. It was interesting because we get the point of view of a multitude of characters throughout the story. We get a lot of intel about the case that even the characters don’t get until the end of the story. The characters feel real, you never know who is gonna be the culprit or what the “why” is until you least expect it. The book moves fast but I felt like all characters felt flushed out. Every part of the story was so thought out, the writing was beautiful, dark, and poetic. The tension, pacing, secrets/ lies, and creepy atmosphere was flooding this book. The twists/ turns in the book were definitely shocking me and became more gripping with each page turn.
I love that this book kept me guessing, the author kept me pointing my fingers at everyone to blame. Every time I thought I had it figured out, they uncovered another layer of the crime.
If you are looking for a dark whodunnit based in teenage drama, with the turn of the parents of a missing child trying to determine where their daughter is, and all of the mental fortitude that come with that then this will be a good book for you. It does have some gruesome, descriptive scenes and teen bullying, I was very happy to have gotten to read this book. "

"When I’m Dead- Hannah Morrissey-3.8⭐️- Beginning sucked me in. Middle was too slow on false leads especially after certain things are brought up and you “know” who did it, but not exactly why. Ending was again a little too drawn out for me, but overall was a decent read.

"This book definitely took me by surprise. I literally couldn’t put it down. Started before bed last night, and had to fight myself to go to bed, then finished it immediately after work. I’m excited to see more of her work."
