I read Alessandra Torre first book Blindfolded innocence and loved it. This was not like that one. This was more of a thriller with some romance in there. I loved how she wrote from the different POV's of the different Characters. I hope to see her write more like this genre too.

Meh
When I began the book I had some interest. The plot summary sounded great, but the writing didn't match. This is a fun, quick read, but not much to savor once it's over.

The book description says it’s a cross between Dexter and 50 shades. There is no 50 shades. This is an encyclopedic look into the life of a cam girl with Dexter-like tendencies. While there are a lot of explanations of the acts she does as a cam girl, they are delivered almost clinically with no spice. As far as a thriller, the internal dialogue of the main character made it all pretty predictable. It was a fine book. Definitely different, just wish there was more mystery and tension.

Learnt a lot of weird facts but the main character was annoying, I felt like it was so "I'm so edgy and psychotic" and it was too contrived for me. The whole situation with Jeremy was just cringe worthy and there for the sake of forwarding the plot in places

I really liked it, but not like her other books. Best part was the romance and learning about webcaming. The thriller aspect was not it, only a plot-twist that was kinda obvious. And the Annie thing was okey, but thought was going to be a bigger thing, I dont know how to exactly describe it. Anyways, its still a enjoyable and fast read.

I love the premise of this book so much. It had many interesting and unique aspects to it.
The pace was a bit slow. Not a lot happens considering the build up and tension.
➖However, it was written in a way that still kept me interested and entertained.
I was very intrigued in Deanna/Jessica’s life and her past. She’s a very interesting and likable character who happens to be morally grey. I happen to love morally grey characters.
I did enjoy the descriptions of her web cam interactions. I don’t think it went very far into kinky and freaky. I could have handled plenty more.
But, that’s me.
The erotic aspect is very mild in my opinion, the dark aspect as well. I think it’s a good starter book for someone who is interested in dark and erotic books, but is hesitant. This is the least disturbing of any book I’ve read that’s advertised as such.
Granted I read some pretty dark stuff, full disclosure I have very few triggers and hard limits with books.
This is a psychological thriller with sexual undertones in my opinion.
It has a little bit of romance, that’s definitely not the focus. The romance is very satisfying though.
I enjoyed the change of genre and I think it’s really well written. The author writes in a very engaging and unique way and I think plenty of research and thought was put into many aspects of the story.
I will be reading the next book in the trilogy.
