2.0
Every single character in this was a villain. I'm giving it 2 stars because I genuinely enjoyed the suspense, but if I believed in book burning, this would be one of the first victims.
Verity makes me feel physically ill. Team manuscript.
Lowen is spineless, invasive, clingy, and a homewrecker.
Jeremy is also spineless, also a homewrecker, and somehow blinded to psychopathy with abundant fellatio.
Something about the way this was written, just thinking about one mother writing another mother's perspective in this way, that makes my skin crawl.
Verity solidifies for me that I find nothing redeemable or admirable about CoHo's writing. This was my last attempt.
