You Shouldn't Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose
2.0
Grace’s escapade is going almost perfectly, except that the Airbnb she has booked has a suspicious-looking locked room and no cell service or WiFi.
When the owner of the Airbnb, Calvin starts to get too friendly with her and the police stop by looking for a missing woman who was supposed to have checked in, Grace gets the sense that she might not be able to leave as easily as she had come.
This was a classic case of ‘I picked up the book because of the cover‘. I wish I hadn’t.
Even if you can tolerate books with unlikeable characters, I wouldn’t recommend that you sit through this.
Nothing seems odd about Grace at first. She is a woman on a road trip, experiencing what it’s like to travel alone.
But then, out of nowhere, she develops an interest in the owner of the Airbnb. No matter how shady things look or how clearly she ought to be using her judgement to make better decisions, Grace does the exact opposite of what you’d urge her to do.
When her mood swings lead her to blowing hot and cold towards Calvin, you begin to realise that there’s more than what meets the eye.
The chapters alternate between Grace’s and Calvin’s POVs. While this serves to show us their train of thought, it constantly depicts both of them as morally grey characters – far too insistently to make the reveal at the end even a tad bit surprising.
