Book Review: Before I Met Him (DI Gravel #2) by John Nicholl

Title: Before I Met Him (DI Gravel #2) 

Author: John Nicholl

Stars: 4 stars

Review:
Before I Met Him is a dark psychological thriller that will stick with readers long after they put the story down.
Rebecca Smith lived though hell and decided as an adult she would make sure no child would live though the same hell. 
Rebecca takes the law into her own hands and hunts the men prey on children.  The story gets very dark as she tortures, kills and dismembers the bodies of those who would pray on little children.

While Di Gravel searches for clues he has to ask himself as do readers Is Vigilante Justice ever justified?
Before I Met Him will have readers horrified at what can happen to children and how justices something is just and people are able to slip though the cracks.  This story is very dark and won't be for everyone. 

The system isn't perfect which will have reader questioning everything they know.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher  Bloodhound Books for the advance copy of John Nicholl Before I Met Him
