Good twists,  didn't see that last bit. Kept me on my toes and I didn't want it to end.

The language around drug users in this book is disgusting. Do better.
challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced

This was a compelling story with an intriguing twist. Fans of “The Housemaid” will enjoy the structure of this book. I couldn’t help feel as if the book reached its peak for me with around 100 pages left.  Leaving me with a desire for a more balanced pace. Otherwise the characters were strong and engaging!

This started to be too predictable; I'm not saying a homeless person can't have an intimate relationship with someone but isn't this supposed to be a thriller?  It was obvious what Hazel was doing.  I would not expect Lee to be so trusting, didn't the "spa" day teach you nothing?   And the  bondage /dominance stuff ain't for me.  No thanks

2.5 stars. Interesting at first, but this was a story that ran around in circles and ultimately went nowhere. I literally finished the last page, put the book down, and asked myself, "what was the point of all of that?"

The plot twists were okay but nothing truly shocking (the clues were left along the way), and none of the characters made me want to root for them. It gets a couple of stars for starting out with promise, but the weird ending with a ton of loose ends ruined it for me. I don't really understand why this book has such high reviews.
