i’ve seen this author blow up on booktube so i decided to choose one book by her to see if i liked it and i couldn’t connect to the story. i don’t know if it’s me problem but it sometimes it felt over the top, the execution for hero’s pushing back was done poorly and i didn’t enjoy this romantic suspense as much as the others i’ve read.

CW: Blood, car accident, toxic relationship, sexual content, cyber-bullying, gun violence, stalking

This book series has me in a grip hold. Like I need more of this family and this town. I went from feeling so much empathy for the mom in the 1st book with Hayes to hating her with Hadley. Like dang—- she needed some serious help. 

The suspense part was good, but I always wonder how much would one person be willing to take before they just leave a small town with this much violence and crime. 

The love story was good and I loved the build. Calder being a dad to some of the cutest and most awesome kids on the planet helped too. 

Highly recommend the series so far!
