A review by kelseyr713
Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris

dark tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I’m a bit torn on how to rate this, because I couldn’t put it down and HAD to find out what happened, but on the other hand Jack is a cartoonishly portrayed villain with zero redeeming qualities and Grace’s initial bad decisions are infuriating to read. The ending is satisfying though.
