It had elements of thriller and romance but it definitely leaned into the suspense side of things. The story is dual POV with short chapters that are easy to cruise through. We follow Grace to a remote air bnb where she stays with host Calvin who might as well be a walking red flag.

His chapters gave me such an ick that I couldn’t quite pin point. But all I knew was that something bad was going to happen. Add in a bunch of side characters and random plot points including a mountain lion, another house guest, and a birthday bbq, and that’s just me skimming the surface.

While I will not be making this book my personality, it was entertaining and chaotic and the unreliable narrators were truly just so bizarre. My notes app will tell you I had a lot of fun with this one!

   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.

I found myself getting bored with all of the strange happenings and wondering what the hell was going on. I liked not knowing who the true villain was throughout. Glad I finished but this came close to being a DNR. It kept me interested enough to want to know what happens which is why it gets three stars.

thoughts
  • shes not like other girls vibes 24/7.
  • constantly looking up each other bodies.
  • half the mmc lines/thoughts were “you alright?” “those blue blue eyes” “shes different.”
  • 85% of it felt like a more if dark romance book more than a thriller.
lost interest quickly bc of all this so i didn’t even care how it ended 🤷‍♀️

The twist was great but I didn’t necessarily enjoy getting there.
