1.0

Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. Somewhat predictable and repetitive. If I had a dime for every time I read “from the antagonist’s point of view” I’d be able to buy the next book on my tbr. The authors ability to keep me reading despite my complaints was fairly impressive and there were plenty of plot twists. Quite a lot of sex was used to fill empty space 

 
What an odd book with paths leading nowhere. 
One complaint is the build up to a dissatisfying story concerning Lowen’s sleepwalking. I really thought there’d be something more that would impact the plot. Feels like a loose thread that could’ve gone somewhere. Especially after she woke up in Verity’s bed and nothing happened… Why was her most troubling life experience a plot device to get her in bed with Mr. Dreamboat?? When Lowen started to think like Verity I had hope that the story was living up to its hype. For a moment, I really considered the idea that she’d kill the son but no.
Don’t even get me started on the ending.
