Same thoughts honestly, but lowen is kind of a freak.


I think I’m team manuscript. 

I enjoyed this! It wasn’t asking creepy as I was expecting(people made it sound so creepy). I was intrigued and wanted to see what was going to happen, but I was honestly mostly in this for the romance honestly. Some parts of this were very hard and disturbing to read. I don’t love the ending it just felt kind of rushed idk. It was enjoyable, but I didn’t find anything shocking tbh.

I enjoyed the twists but there was far too many sex scenes for a thriller and I didn’t connect to the characters at all. It just felt a little flat is all. However, it was extremely easy to get through and I found that every time I picked it up I struggled to put it down!

One of the worst books I’ve ever read. The more time spent thinking about this book, the dumber it becomes.

The premise of this book was good, a variation of Jane Eyre. The delivery was lacking. I did not feel much suspense with this book and at times it felt more like a parody of a thriller than an actual thriller. There were also some unnecessary scenes added in, specifically the opening scene involving pedestrian death which had nothing to do with anything, and the repeated, detailed sex scenes, also unnecessary. I also did not appreciate finding out after I finished it that there was a bonus chapter not included with my edition but which I found on the internet which I think was supposed to clear up the ending, but only made it more confusing.

This is one of the hardest books I’ve ever read. There were points where I HAD to put it down and walk away bc it was so dark. 
I’ve never read a book that made me feel so disgusted and sick to my stomach and made me cry like this. There absolutely should be a trigger warning before the book even starts. 
There’s no romance to me in this book. It’s smut, which I’m okay with, while others aren’t. 
If you have triggers of child death and abuse, this book is NOT for you.
