Enchanted Jones is a talented 17-year-old student who aspires to one day become a singer. It seems her hopes are finally realised when she meets her musical idol, 28-year-old Korey Fields, at a talent show audition. He promises to help her record her very own album and all seems well until the relationship turns abusive..

Running in tandem is a future timeline in which Korey has been killed and all the evidence for his death points to Enchanted.

This book felt like a very intentional work and it had a clear sense of direction. It succeeded in making me feel anger and empathy and confronts hard topics such as abusive relationships, toxic masculinity, gas lighting, internalised misogyny, victim blaming and substance abuse.

At the beginning, the story didn't capture me at all despite all the crime/thriller -esque foreshadowing, which made things fractionally more interesting, I was a lot more invested in the story once things took a darker turn.
