this is like if lifetime tried to make a hallmark romance movie but couldn't stop themselves from also trying to make a thriller. I somehow called the entire twist at the end from the first 5 pages. either im absolutely amazing, or this premise was not executed all that well.
I don't hate the overall idea of the story, but I personally feel it would've been better put together by a completely different author. there is so much cringey dialogue, inner thoughts, romance, and clichés all over.
I will give jeneva credit though: I couldn't stop reading. but more because it was like a train wreck that you simply can't tear your eyes away from. though I also couldn't stop rolling my eyes just about every few pages. so there's that, I guess....
now lemme get one SPOILER out of my head:

AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SHOCKED THAT SHES A SERIAL KILLER WITH AN ENTIRE FAMILY? a husband and kids that love her? yeah, no fucking shit. most serial killers in real life do. this isn't abnormal or shocking in any way. most are fully involved in their community, friends, family, church, all over. but I guess if you're new to horrible people, then that could work for you.

Only complaint/reason for less than 5 stars is the ending. Didn't particularly like the last bit since it's suggestive of a possible sequel. I'd love a sequel but it feels complete without one!
