Spice Rating: 🌶️ / 5

Even though I saw the twist coming, I still had a fun time with this book!

Every year, Grace picks a random town in the US to visit for a week just to get away from her busy life in New York. This year, Grace is staying in Wyoming and finds herself renting a room from Calvin--a handsome country man. But there's something about Calvin's house and ranch that seem... off. There's no cell service, one of Calvin's previous renters is missing, and Calvin's friends and family are very off-putting. Grace is starting to wonder if she's going to ever make it out of Wyoming.

You Shouldn't Have Come Here is a twisty mystery/thriller with a dual POV. Having already read The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose, I did kind of see the plot twist coming, but the ride to get there, and the ending itself, was still a lot of fun! The atmosphere of the novel was overall suspenseful and creepy, which I thoroughly enjoyed. 

I read this as an audiobook and am glad I did so since it kept my attention more than I think the physical book would have.

LMAO I screamed when I finished this book because ultimately, I support women's wrongs. 

I read this in one sitting, and I suspected the ending because I am perpetually suspicious of everyone, and even though I wasn't exactly shocked, I was still delighted to see I was right. 

This would be a fun one for a longer plane ride, or simply a beach read. It was a lot of fun to speed through in one sitting!

This book is my first by this author and im afraid to read another one. This book made me cringe soooo many times while reading it. I dont know if i will ever look at food, rhe same way again. I seriously was hoping this book would be good. It had sooo much potential but it fell flat for me. The ending should have been sprinkled throughout the book. Also, Grace was so disgusting at the end. Why did you need to be like that??? Im giving this book 3 stars. It literally felt like a creepy cringy romance for the first 250 pages. #jenevarose #dissappointment #somuchpotential
