Reviews with content warning for Fire/Fire injury - You Shouldn't Have Come Here

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.

The narration feels off from the very beginning and it turns out there's a reason for that, but I feel like this book relies too heavily on a grand "twist" over actual character development.

I feel bad for rating this book so low but it just really wasn't for me. I didn't buy how fast the relationship between Grace and the dude formed, how she was instantly like so invested in his personal life. It just wasn't it for me. It felt very slow until the last forth of the book. Wasn't bad enough for me to stop listening but very very meh.

While I did like the ending of this book and thought it was interesting in the end, there were a lot of unanswered questions for me. All of the characters were unlikable. The story was pretty slow until about halfway through the book, and then it started to pick up. This one was a little predictable in my opinion. I love Jeneva Rose and her writing style, but this one just wasn’t it for me. Also, I didn’t like the way Calvin kept describing Grace’s eyes as “blue, blue.” I think it was said waaaay too much.
