I’ve always wanted to read a B.A. Paris book since I’ve heard such great things, so when I saw this on NetGalley, I jumped on the chance to read one.
The story follows Amelie who married the billionaire Ned Hawthorne. One day, she wakes up in as a prisoner in a pitch black room, not knowing why she was taken or who her captors are.
The book did not keep my interest. To be honest, I found it to be quite boring and not very suspenseful. The scenes where Amelie is held in the dark room were very repetitive after a while.
While there were some plot twists sprinkled throughout, some of them were very predictable and they didn’t really pique my interest.
I also couldn’t get invested in the characters - everyone was just kind of boring While Amelie does show some character development throughout the book, she still was just “meh” and I wasn’t very attached to her.
Overall, this story just fell flat to me. I’m hoping that I enjoy some of her other books a bit more.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
