“Roses are red. Violets are blue. Someone is dead. Let’s hope it’s not you.”
Dark, cringeworthy, sexy! Shades of Her is a domestic thriller perfect for fans of steam and scream.
Sage left behind her deep, dark secrets and a very twisted addiction in New York. Now she lives in a picture perfect neighborhood with a picture perfect family. But secrets always seem to come unburied, and obsessions never really go away.
Unnerving texts, eerie flower deliveries, and some very hot sex, reveal the many shades of Sage. And when murders related to her start to pile up, every character becomes a suspect. This is suspense with a heavy dose of spice and plenty of OMG moments.
Indie author, Arya, delivers another fast paced, quick read. The characters are multilayered, but none are truly likeable. And I think that along with the extra (unnecessary) twist at the end took away a bit of my enjoyment. But Arya’s writing is highly readable. She manages to make me cringe while also compelling me to see what will happen next. I’ve never read another book with a sex addiction premise, and this one seemed well researched and creating a unique storyline.
Many thanks to @monicaarya for the advanced copy of this book to review. Also, check out Arya’s debut, The Girl in the Reflection. Both titles are available on Kindle Unlimited.
