Reviews with content warning for Blood - You Shouldn't Have Come Here

I didn’t hate it but there were parts that made me wish I could finish the book to get it over with. Nice twist, though; I saw some of it coming but not the whole thing.

Very DARK & Dexter-esque. Not a very satisfying thriller — the story not the ending

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.

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.

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
