If you can deal with the twisted relationship dynamics and focus on the characters and building storyline you will enjoy. You do have to look largely past this to be able to appreciate the novel. Extremely well written, and everything ties together. Definitely an unexpectedly twist at every page turn. I read this in less than 24hrs…

This book is definitely messy, and for me there was an unexpected emotional numbness that came from the FMC addressing her childhood (more lack thereof) and a mute son, but all that is swept away because of the sheer messiness that this story is. Yes, she sleeps with her step-uncle, and his sons. And the entire town where The Peak is located is filled with only Neanderthal men who have no other personality than to sleep with the new girl, all of which happens with a ‘winter is coming’ panic. I don’t ever see myself recommending this book to anyone - and for the love of all things holy it is not a why-choose situation - but I can’t say that I’m mad I read it. And as far as spiciness is concerned, it was hot.
