Reviews with content warning for Cursing - My Killer Vacation

I really loved this book. I mean it’s Tessa Bailey so I usually adore anything she writes but this might be my favorite of all her books. I loved how it combined my two favorite genres romance and mystery. It was well done and the spice was “chefs kisses 😘”. Great book definitely recommend you read it

As a big Tessa Bailey fan, I couldn’t wait to dig into another of her books. Don’t get me wrong, the comedic moments were great (Jude being prime example as the comedic character) and the spice! In my opinion, I think it needed holding off just a bit as there was no build up of the tension between the characters and with all the spice, the plot got lost in the background. This book is definitely insta-love but also insta-LUST.

This book moved very quick and so I felt like a lot could have been built upon but wasn’t. There were a few moments where I did cringe (looking at you chapter 4)!

I adored Jude and wanted even more - I wanted to know more about him and Dante and that whole situation. Both Myles and Taylor did annoy me at times and as it was so rushed, I didn’t connect with their relationship as well as I usually would. I got lust vibes and not so much romance until the last third of the book. I don’t mind insta-love but with this all happening over 5 days, it was TOO instant.

Overall, I think this book has a lot of potential, but think it just needed a little more attention to detail (quite a few grammar mistakes that made it a little harder to read) and time.

fun!

This definitely wasn’t the best thing I’ve read - the dialogue was weird at times and some moments were a little cringe, the mystery wasn’t that great and it was a little too insta-lovey but I had fun with it!

Smutty, cozy-ish murder mysteries might be the new wave for me.
