hayley3333's review against another edition

this had so much potential until the love interest tried to rape her?? once she started camping out at his place she just dropped her entire purpose of being in Louisiana to cook for him? the cult and mystery was fun and the romance subplot was exciting up until theirry becomes a sadist maniac and we are supposed to find it hot.. nobody having a panic attack and being re-traumatized suddenly finds the situation super hot.

4.5

Oof this book. Devoured it.

Loved the setting and the concept. Will warn that it is very dark especially at the end. The plot twists were really good. There was one I really did not see coming and Keri blindsides you. Not what I was expecting. Gave it 4.5 stars because it is one of those books that you know will just stick with you and in a few years time I’ll remember bits and pieces about it and want to reread it.
