3.75 stars. Easy read. Psychological suspense with a bit of steamy romance. Cringey, but a page turner. Twist ending. Jeneva Rose seems like the Colleen Hoover of thrillers.

Grace stays at an Airbnb in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. Her hunky rancher host introduces her to quite a change from her New York lifestyle. But, what secrets are he and his friends and family hiding?

Jeneva Rose has quickly become one of my new favorite authors! Her thrillers are fun, suspenseful, and they keep you second guessing your own judgement. This one was so fun and the twists and turns were great. The dual POVs make it so much more immersive into the story and the characters brains.

NOT what I expected! What I expected was a great thriller, while, in reality, what I got was more romance/smut with a touch of mystery/roll your eyes drama.
CONTAINS SPOILERS!!

Grace arrives at Calvin’s AirBnB for her annual vacation/totally off-the-grid escape from reality. Right away she notices that things feel “off” but stays TEN days as things get progressively MUCH worse because she’s hot for the owner, who says she’s “HIS” and “wants this to never end.” What could go wrong???

All this to say, this IS a good book and a worthwhile read, just not what I was looking for.

Had me hooked til the end,

I would’ve found it more slay if she was like a vigilante vs straight up serial killer for fun. Like since she somehow knew his exact type I was expecting that maybe she was related to the missing girl, or trying to find her. Also she just killed someone and is already itching to again like get a grip girl.. was def a trashy read but I enjoyed it, though I could’ve done with less dead animals

Wow o wow! This was crazy. Grace is a New Yorker taking a vacation at Calvins Air Bnb in Wyoming. As Grace and Calvin grow closer and things don't add up, Grace and Calvin grow suspicious of the people around them. I absolutely do not want to give anything away but this book has one of my favorite tropes ever in it. A slay! I adore the dual pov and day count as the chapter marker. I think the characterization of the cast of characters and then the subtle destabilizing of said characterization creates a very unsettling story that twists and turns in new ways. I thought I knew exactly what was happening but I did not. My only issue, other then the horrible pacing and semi cringy writing, is that a couple of things never made sense even with the plot twist. Especially everything with Joe and the animals.
