Blood and Water by Briana Morgan

3.0

I wish I could give This half stars, as I enjoyed it more than a 3 indicates, but a 4 seemed slightly too much.

This was a fun little thriller to read, especially after not having the energy or time to read for over a month. I devoured it in just two days and definitely enjoyed the twists, though I saw a few of them coming. I am so curious as to what happens to the characters who survive after the end of the book.

My main gripe is that there are a few small inconsistencies throughout the book. They aren't really important to the plot, but I found them rather distracting and even went back a few times to double check what I had read previously. Then another tiny gripe was that it had some twists that I thought were very obvious, but often, I enjoyed them anyway still.

This book does deal with a very toxic relationship, but it doesn't reveal some of the details of why it's so bad until later on in the book, and that was making me rather uncomfortable for a while, as I couldn't tell how much it would be shown as an unhealthy relationship. Though I do think the POV made it more difficult to show the toxicity earlier on.

TW: Grooming, Statutory rape, fatal illness, vomit, animal death, loss of loved ones.
