dark mysterious tense fast-paced

4.0

I enjoyed this book a lot. There was a lot of build up to the final twist and it honestly felt like it came out of nowhere. There weren't many hints as to what the twist was, but that can be good or bad. I do like Jeneva Rose's writing.

It was entertaining enough that I was able to finish the book, but I just did not find the plot interesting nor did the ending provide a satisfying twist. I don’t want to ever read “those blue blue eyes” ever again.

I guess her having a whole ass family at the end was surprising. It doesn’t make sense for her personality but oh well. I did suspect her being bad, thought Calvin was going to end up being good lol.

   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.
