1.75

usually when i give a book one stars there’s a seething amount of hate for the book but i don’t hate this book it’s just REALLY bad like awfully written with an intriguing premise. the love story was so undercooked it was cake batter. i was gagged at times so i’ll be giving it a 1.75!

I will admit that this book had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole thing. The whole time I was just so anxious to figure out what in the world was going on. However, this was one of those books where I didn’t like a single character and found it really hard to root for anyone. Every single person had such messed up motivations. I also felt like the amount of graphic sex scenes was totally unnecessary. I feel like a writer shouldn’t have to rely on spicy scenes to keep readers engaged (especially in an thriller) and that was the vibe I got in this book. As someone who approached this book looking for an eerie thriller (which was how the book presented itself), I was rather annoyed that 70% of the content was spice. No shame to those who enjoy spice in a book, but I found it frustrating that it kind of overshadowed everything else. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was desperate to figure out what was going on and had a ton of time on my hands, I probably wouldn’t have finished it. But I’ll give CoHo some credit with the fact that the main plot drew me in enough to keep reading. Unfortunately the only reason I was so drawn to find out how it ended was because I was completely baffled by the horrible and disturbing thoughts of Verity and I wanted to see some justice. Once again, I felt like I couldn’t root for a single character
