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

Nothing happens till like the last half an hour of the audiobook. It reads as a insta romance up in till this point rather than a thriller.

Truly one of the dumbest books I've read in a while. The writing was so bad, and the story was somehow even worse.

Almost immediately, I kept saying, "you've only known him/her for x amount of days!!" Things were so ridiculous in how quickly they moved with the characters, and yet still, nothing was happening! And seriously, that ending? THAT was the twist? It just had me rolling my eyes.

The only reason I even finished the book was because I rented it from the library on audiobook during a long drive and needed something to listen to.

Oh, and if I had to hear "her blue blue eyes" ONE MORE TIME!!!!! (Stay tuned for the total number count after I get the digital copy from libby and can search for the amount of times it was said)

Joe Golberg from “You” meets the female Dexter. But neither MC’s are that interesting. Lots of plot holes in this story. I didn’t feel connected to any of the characters & I basically rolled my eyes every time Calvin talked. What an obsessive cry baby loser, major “lil d energy”

 All that suspense build up just for everything to unravel in the last few chapters & not everything got an explanation..

Why wouldn’t Grace a woman! save Bri from being tied up in a Cabin! She just released her & kicked her then drove away!? The only explanation to Grace being a serial killer is that it’s in her “nature” but I still would’ve liked more of an explanation as to why she chooses to kill AirBnB hosts. Why did she choose Calvin ? & wtf why was Grace’s “work” & “laptop” mentioned multiple times in the beginning just for that detail to be forgotten about 🤦🏻‍♀️

   Grace goes on vacation to Wyoming, and stays at Calvin's house where he's renting out a room as an Airbnb, but neither one of them is what they seem. 
     Wow! The ending did surprise me, and they both ended up being very screwed up. I could have used it without all the animal death, blood, and gore. That got a bit extreme at points. 
     It was a very twisty thriller and not what I expected. But it kept me engaged.

Narrator Rating: 5 stars!
    Both narrators were amazing. Great with the voices and tonal shifts.

Genuinely if I hadn’t been bored with nothing else to do I would’ve put this down within the first chapter. 

The story vaguely makes no sense and the plot twist is weird and poorly thought out. There is no “gotcha” moment it’s more like “why would anyone write that”. I cannot think of one redeeming factor here but you know what it was a book so. One star I guess.
