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.

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.
