I’ve heard a lot of things about this book and I do think it lives up to the hype! I’ve never read anything by Colleen before but you can really tell she’s a romance author from the amount of sex in this book. 

The themes in this are heavy - please do check the content warnings. 

Overall I really enjoyed the structure of the book and the writing was actually super enjoyable. I like how the story kept me guessing - I enjoyed the plot twist too (not my absolute fav but definitely unique). 
Would recommend if you’re looking for a dark and surprisingly sexy thriller about evil wives (and husbands??)

Read the bonus chapter - it left me viewing Jeremy in a completely different light!! Kinda want a sequel now just to see what happens to them in the future.

I think I’m team manuscript. 

I enjoyed this! It wasn’t asking creepy as I was expecting(people made it sound so creepy). I was intrigued and wanted to see what was going to happen, but I was honestly mostly in this for the romance honestly. Some parts of this were very hard and disturbing to read. I don’t love the ending it just felt kind of rushed idk. It was enjoyable, but I didn’t find anything shocking tbh.

I enjoyed the twists but there was far too many sex scenes for a thriller and I didn’t connect to the characters at all. It just felt a little flat is all. However, it was extremely easy to get through and I found that every time I picked it up I struggled to put it down!
