This started out intriguing, then took a very predictable turn. It remained interesting for a little while, despite the lack of originality, and at some point, it evolved into straight 🌽. Not bad by any means, but some of it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. I do prefer a plot.

I’m not sure the synopsis set the proper expectation, as it implies there’s a plot and the advertised ‘secret’ was pretty obvious from a few sentences in—at least to me. Perhaps, not to everyone?

I’m not unhappy about having tried a new-to-me author. This was a quick, dirtyish read with some dark themes and a pair of twisted leads. (I do enjoy twisted—who doesn’t?)

I’m not sure I can list out the tropes / tr!gg3rs / other attributes without massive censorship here—so do your own research if anything may be an issue for you. (For me, that right there is a major green flag—love me some tr1gg3r$.)

Overall:

Twisted.

Fun at times.

Quick, standalone.

Alternating, first-person POV.

*Those are all good qualities, IMO so a couple hours well spent.

3.5 stars.
