The Shape of Night by Tess Gerritsen
2.0
Okay so normally I love Tess Gerritsen’s books. Love Rizzoli & Isles, I also enjoyed one of her standalone several years back.
This one, though? It’s a thinly veiled BDSM “romance” disguised as a “gothic ghost story.” That’s about all I have to say about it. There was more sex and sexual innuendos than there was mystery. I didn’t like the main character, I wasn’t intrigued at all by the mystery and figured out by chapter 2 who the murder victim was, and the ghost story was not as mysterious or terrifying as I thought it would be from the blurb.
About the only good thing I can say about this is the descriptions were amazing. And also, it was a quick read so I didn’t waste too much of my life on it.
