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?

Oh…my word. This is the most bizarre book, I don’t even know where to start.

If you told me an eighth grader wrote this after learning about similes, metaphors, and allegories—while also discovering smut for the first time—I would believe you! It would make sense. I’m BEGGING you to go look at my highlights. I was actually selective about the mind boggling quotes I chose to feature.

I cannot count the amount of entire-face-double-takes I did while listening to this. The writing style is just so strange, nonsensical, and cringey without being the least bit charming. Did AI “help” with this? I literally cannot fathom an adult coming up with these phrases and then publishing them in a book. I’ve read another title by this author and it was not like this at all, so I’m very confused.

Sorry/you’re welcome to all my friends and family who received screenshots of this one. I was listening to the audio and had to check out the ebook to send them proof of this insanity.

If I have to read “blue, blue eyes” ONE MORE TIME 🔪🩸

Also, I called this “twist” if it can even be called that. Good riddance. I can’t believe this is real.

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.

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.

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.
