Read in one breathless sitting.
I didn’t develop a connection to the main characters and the plot was not realistic but was still interesting. The main characters had no chemistry, there were way too many graphic sex scenes for my taste and the descriptions were deeply disturbing. I felt there were gaps in the storyline. I don’t understand how ‘the scans’ proved that she was brain dead if she literally wasn’t?? And I don’t understand how, if Jeremy already knew about the manuscript, Lowen showing it to him suddenly made him believe she was faking her injuries.
That aside, there was twist after twist after twist. Coho did a good job at giving the reader small tastes of eerie possibilities that made us want to read more to find out the truth.
