Woah. It was a bit slow in the beginning, but....wtf did I just read? I started the audiobook at work and finished the same day because I couldn't stop listening. I went into this book knowing NOTHING, which is absolutely how I'd recommend reading it. What a wild ride.

I read 65% of this in one sitting and usually that kind of commitment means the book is a success.

It’s pretty neat to see an author cross genres, especially since I’m not a huge fan of romance, which is clearly what CoHo dabbles in *most* of the time.

Enjoyed this more than I expected to!

What a strange book. Unexpected plot, twists, and just a hint of spooky. I couldn’t put it down.

Colleen Hoover never fails me

It was everything I expected and more I did not. I have yet to read a book by Colleen Hoover that I don’t love.

This was a 2* for me. While the premise of the book was great I really didn’t like what Leeds did to ‘Layla’. The entire time I felt so frustrated that he and willow would keep using Laylas body despite her deteriorating mental state. What made it worse was the fact she already had been through such an unbelievable trauma.

Now, I understand that throughout the book post shooting Layla was in fact Sable (a twist I personally didn’t guess) and willow was in fact Layla however, I just can’t accept the fact Leeds would willingly abandon his girlfriend for the sake of getting to know a ghost.
