Merca’s Review:

I loved this book so much that I forced Masha to read it, and I read it again alongside her.

Josh won me over pretty quick (not going to lie) – he was funny, charming & cute……. in a dark romance kinda way (you know exactly what I mean lol 😈).

The first time I read it, I ate up every single word all the way to the end. Couldn’t put it down!

Spoiler Alert!!!!

The second time around? Still ate it up until the murder and Aly getting help from her family. Not that those words were spoiled, I just didn’t need them again since I got my dessert already 😉. No regrets here.

Would I recommend the book?

Yes.The. Fuck. I. Would!

Masha’s Review:

Josh seemed like a tool at first, but once I found out his dad was a known serial killer, I had to give him some grace. 

Taking pictures with a mask on while being shirtless was never my kinda thing… until this book lmao. 

Aly got really lucky with this one. I would never leave him (or let him leave me). 

The fact that there was no parallel mystery going on didn’t even upset me. I like that he kept it suspenseful even after she found out he was “the faceless man”. 

Aly’s family is still kinda sus, so we’ll see what the second book brings. 

No doubt I would pick this book back up and read it again!
