3.5

Quite a successful thriller, heavy on the what-will-happen-next factor.

The pacing is steady, the tension is clear, sexual, and discomfiting. Rose offers just enough details to sustain your interest, and plants subtle seeds into the plot to keep you turning the page. 

For some this will be pure fun and an engaging read, but others might find the slow progression and sudden double whammy twist dissatisfying. 

Character motivation seems surface level, and the twist unearned. The seeds planted earlier in the story don’t establish strong enough roots to ever have that retrospective understanding of certain details that tie back later. 

I acknowledge that may be a personal preference though, and overall found the story sexy and entertaining.

2.0

2 stars is because I am excited to have listened through this book do quickly as it truly was captivating and I had no idea what would happen. I would say “I never saw that coming” but that is usually associated with an OMG shocker- that usually makes me look positive upon a book. For this book, my reactions were “uh.”, “what is going on?”, “this makes absolutely no sense” and “nope”. Also the misogyny is through the roof but I think I now see why that was done, but it sure did not help.
