It’s been a while since a book took me as long to get through as this one. A dark, disturbing, believable dystopian set in the American prison system. Heavy on footnotes especially in the first half, educating on the gross reality of the US penal sys ...more

A dark look into the life of a serial killer. Based on true events, it seems like something impossible. At least four serial killers and a serial rapist operating in the same area and crossing each other's paths. Insanity, but oddly fascinating. ...more

Such a beautiful book and story. Tuga sounds like an idyllic place. A community cut off at island close. The second in the series, which I hope continues beyond the planned trilogy (although waiting till 2027 for the third is going to drive me crazy! ...more
