Maybe I’m dense, but the ending left me super confused… 
As for the book in general, it moved so slow until the last 30 minutes (listened to the audiobook). There was nothing in the first 80% of the book to suggest these people were who they ended up being, so the “twist” (again, super confused…) just came out of nowhere… literally.

Joe Golberg from “You” meets the female Dexter. But neither MC’s are that interesting. Lots of plot holes in this story. I didn’t feel connected to any of the characters & I basically rolled my eyes every time Calvin talked. What an obsessive cry baby loser, major “lil d energy”

 All that suspense build up just for everything to unravel in the last few chapters & not everything got an explanation..

Why wouldn’t Grace a woman! save Bri from being tied up in a Cabin! She just released her & kicked her then drove away!? The only explanation to Grace being a serial killer is that it’s in her “nature” but I still would’ve liked more of an explanation as to why she chooses to kill AirBnB hosts. Why did she choose Calvin ? & wtf why was Grace’s “work” & “laptop” mentioned multiple times in the beginning just for that detail to be forgotten about 🤦🏻‍♀️
