Did I think this was a perfect plot? No, and I feel like I've seen a few movies that do this same thing. BUT, I will say that I can see how people can get hooked by Hoover's writing because I found myself really wanting to just drop everything to read this book. If I had a day to do absolutely nothing, I 1000% would've devoured this in one go.

I think I’m team manuscript. 

I enjoyed this! It wasn’t asking creepy as I was expecting(people made it sound so creepy). I was intrigued and wanted to see what was going to happen, but I was honestly mostly in this for the romance honestly. Some parts of this were very hard and disturbing to read. I don’t love the ending it just felt kind of rushed idk. It was enjoyable, but I didn’t find anything shocking tbh.

Lots of plot holes and sort of boring. Lots of filler sentences that didn't need to be there and could be summarised quite easily. 

it felt like the opening scene was there for shock value only. We don't get any deeper insight into how the main character views a man dying in front of her. We get a very surface level exploration of her feelings and then omg this man is sooo hot 🔥. A dead man's blood is on her and all she can think about is this hot man and info dump about her mother dying. Trauma dumping is not a good way to build a relationship for a reader to be invested in.

If youre looking for an easy read that you don't have or want to think too deeply about this is a book for you. Btw nothing wrong with that.
