I don't even know where to start with this book. I was absolutely reeling from the plot twist and I still am. As we got close to the end I kept saying WTF am I reading and kept setting the book down to get up to pace around.
I really enjoyed this one, the only reason it's not a 5/5 is because of how slow the first 1/4 of the book was. I love the psychological aspect of this book. Was Kayla paranoid or was there something more happening? I had multiple theories throughout the book and while I was on the right track, I was completely off. I wish I could show you my live reactions I sent my friends while reading it.
The smut level was good in this one and didn't, in my opinion, completely take away from elements of the plot. Overall, I feel like it was balanced well and like how different elements of the book all came together at the end for a mind blowing ending.
