Then Emily Cross walks into his classroom.
Emily is the police chief’s good-girl daughter… on paper.
Underneath, she’s all scar tissue and secrets, haunted by a mother who “committed suicide” and dreams that taste like blood. When Silas reads her first assignment—a ruthless essay on whether some lives have negative value—he recognizes her instantly.

When he invites her to watch the execution of a child therapist who preys on his patients, she has to face the

Dark and suspenseful
Story was very good but the writing was terrible. It was very annoying, She left out part of the sentences. She referred to Alex as they all the time. Very confusing.
