They call him The Smiley Face Killer, while Bettina calls him Dad.
⋆˙⟡₊ for over a decade, Bettina has been living in the shadow of her mother's murder at the hands of her father, who has been imprisoned ever since. in their small town of Wolf Ridge, there are no secrets, so when a body turns up in the same manner as her mother, it raises suspicions and brings back painful memories. determined to uncover the truth behind the events haunting her, she works with Eugenia, the daughter of the town's mortician, to shed light on these unanswered questions. ⊹˚
Bettina was unlikable at times. i get that she was going through a lot, but she had to understand that not everything was about her. despite the initial mistreatment, Eugenia showed unwavering support and kindness towards Bettina, even during her most difficult moments.
°⋆. ࿔*:･ 🔎 overall, i had a really fun time reading this book. it was thrilling and full of suspense, which kept me engaged until the very end. although i had theories about what was happening and who the mastermind was, the unexpected plot twists really did one on me. while the ending could have been better, it still left me feeling excited about what could happen next. a potential sequel?? who knows! i would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery novel ♡
