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 🤦🏻‍♀️

slow-paced

1.0

oh boy this book SUCKED! 
a ”thriller” which was not thrilling at any point, instead more of a really fucked up ”romance” if you could even call it that. the dialogue was cringy, the characters had no depth and the plot twist at the end made no sense! the main characters eyes were described as “blue blue” at least 15 times which made me want to vomit every time it happened!!!!!!! i was thinking about dnf’ing this but decided to keep going to see if the end at least would deliver….. i should NOT HAVE DONE THAT

2 stars is because I am excited to have listened through this book do quickly as it truly was captivating and I had no idea what would happen. I would say “I never saw that coming” but that is usually associated with an OMG shocker- that usually makes me look positive upon a book. For this book, my reactions were “uh.”, “what is going on?”, “this makes absolutely no sense” and “nope”. Also the misogyny is through the roof but I think I now see why that was done, but it sure did not help.

I enjoyed this book. I did see the twist coming from a mile away, but it was at least somewhat entertaining leading up to it. Can’t say I particularly loved, or even liked, any of the characters, which usually I need in a book. Overall a good book and a good way to start off October.
