I enjoyed the plot being about the antagonist's stories she wrote, as brutal, a bit crazy, and surprising. I wasn't too fond of the smut scenes, especially since I didn't expect them and they happened frequently, suddenly, and didn't have any proper build up, just straight sex. It's interesting to read about black women being the antagonists in thrillers, so it wasn't terrible but some of the stories did lack a bit of depth and just happened. I wish we got to see more of her character development and going through each of the stories and how the characters connect with her personally. There were a few grammatical errors like missing quotations or sometimes I got mixed up with narration and dialogue, but it was a decent collection of short stories.
