My first COHO book. It was on kindle unlimited so I thought why not dive into someone so polarizing. 
I think I picked the wrong first book. 😕 It had some intriguing moments but was also kind of slimey? I am sure I will give another one of her books a try because I hear this one isn't quite her usual material.
