Spice Rating: 🌶️ / 5

Even though I saw the twist coming, I still had a fun time with this book!

Every year, Grace picks a random town in the US to visit for a week just to get away from her busy life in New York. This year, Grace is staying in Wyoming and finds herself renting a room from Calvin--a handsome country man. But there's something about Calvin's house and ranch that seem... off. There's no cell service, one of Calvin's previous renters is missing, and Calvin's friends and family are very off-putting. Grace is starting to wonder if she's going to ever make it out of Wyoming.

You Shouldn't Have Come Here is a twisty mystery/thriller with a dual POV. Having already read The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose, I did kind of see the plot twist coming, but the ride to get there, and the ending itself, was still a lot of fun! The atmosphere of the novel was overall suspenseful and creepy, which I thoroughly enjoyed. 

I read this as an audiobook and am glad I did so since it kept my attention more than I think the physical book would have.
