I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. Interesting story... If you like murder stories this is perfect for you.

Dr. Bryce Davison hasn’t fully recovered from recent trauma. Despite lingering professional and personal self-doubt, the dedicated psychologist dives in to help the cops when a local surgeon is found dead and castrated. But his clinical instincts quickly home in to link the case to another casualty… a former cosmetic surgery patient discovered in a horribly disfigured pose.

As the body count jumps to three and a second consultant is brought in, Bryce scrutinizes the victimology to uncover the key needed to hunt down the vicious murderer. And with the explicit evidence pointing toward a depraved motive, he races against the clock to stop a terrorized community from suffering more savaged remains.

The writing felt immature for the subject matter and was a bit choppy. A lot of suspense from the start and all the way through.

I really enjoyed this book. The author jumps straight into action in order to keep the readers attached. Someone dying in the first chapter was al it took for me to not put it down and in such a way, that I was on the edge on my seat. I honestly thought more than three people were going to die, so I did feel like there was a let down there. Pushing past all of the thrills and mystery of this book, the author touches on some great points that people struggle with in society. One being body image and those that feel the need to change something about themselves to feel pretty or that they can look perfect. The next would be about intimacy and communication. Many people feel that it is harder to communicate when you are struggling in pleasing your romantic partner or vice versa. The last would be mental health issues and trauma. Many people do not work through their trauma, mainly because they do not want to seek out any help. This book does touch on it being normal to seek out help in order to better yourself. Even though, this was a great book, I did feel like something was missing and I did not feel completed with this book.

Goid book! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, and a great who done it! It had quite a bit of gore to it too! But it also had heartache and heartbreak! The storyline kept my attention the entire time! I definitely recommend reading this one! Its well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
