One of the things I didn't like was the sex scenes at all. They should be of been a warning label for pedophiles at the beginning of the book so people know what they are going Into with this book
Some of the sex scene weâre a bit uncomfortable to read about especially when the characters areÂ
 It's such a well written book and it keeps you wanting to read more and more the book. I will be picking up more of Peter Swansons books as this is the 2nd book I have read by him and really enjoyed. XxxÂ

My thoughts: Page 28 of 285 - So far I'm not impressed. đ„±đ
144 - So this is just a suspense and I'm moving on for now. It's very soap opera and icky and I was so bored I looked up spoilers, I also suspected the so called twists and the summary seems pretty uneventful. I would quit but I'm nearly halfway done and I want to finish this catalog.
202 - If there was a snooze button I'd hit it. It is interesting the way this is playing out but this is the least exciting of all of the Swanson books I have read.
Okay despite having my thoughts confirmed with spoilers the book just wasn't thrilling. It was not a bad book, but it was just okay by normal standards. It is no surprise to me that I naturally was not attracted to this book and only read it because of the author. It was not a boring book but it was yes pretty blah overall. I'm personally not fond of storylines that involve statutory rape or exes of family members so I may have had a cringe glasses on the entire time. This story was pretty forgettable in my opinion although well written. This is the only Swanson book I have given a soild 3 stars.Â
Recommend to others?: Maybe. It's not my cup of tea but there are duller books out there getting high praise.Â
