I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

What a wild ride this book was.

Honestly, I never thought I would be able to say I had read a book about a cannibal solving crimes before, but here we are. Yeah, that isn't in the summary, but it comes up really quick in the book and I feel like it is something that should be mentioned, because he literally eats people in the book and that might be too much for some people to handle. I had to take a step back from the book once in a while.

The main character really brings a lot to this story since he is written so well. There is a lot going on with him and his backstory, making me want to know more. Although, once I learned more, sometimes I wish I hadn't haha.
But, the main character isn't the only draw to this book. I found the mystery to be super interesting. Like many thrillers, I didn't see the ending coming at all, I felt a bit blindsided, but there were hints at it being a possibility.

Will I read the sequel? YES. I gotta know what is going to happen to Timothy. One bridge is burned, what will he do now? How will he survive? I gotta know.
If you can handle reading about a cannibal who wishes he wasn't and is pretty morally gray pushing bad, but is intrigued by puzzles – you should totally read this. This is one I'll be recommending to people who like that blend of mystery/thriller that is more on the gritty side.
