I really enjoyed this read! I am a huge Dracula fan and loved this take on Lucy's character. Such a great twist on the story. Will definitely add a physical copy to my collection!

Ok.. this one is my favorite!!! It surpassed Hooked for me. When Julian opened up to her about his past... cried like a baby. And her dad 🥺 I'm a cancer survivor so it just hit a little close to home for me. I just absolutely adore Emily's writing. I'm going to be sad when the series is over but look forward to what else she has in store for us!!

When I read thrillers I enjoy figuring out the twists... and love it when they surprise me. I sort of got this one... I had a feeling Tricia was Patricia just from her paranoia and anxiousness. I thought maybe she would have multiple personalities or something, but she's just a psycho🫠... I just wasn't sure how she played into everything. I knew something was up with Ethan too but it never occurred to me that he was the older patient's son. What's interesting is he tries to justify his actions by saying she is this awful drunk but then if you recall in the doctor’s flashback she talks about seeing his mother at the grocery store and how much better she is doing so it makes you wonder if she was so awful to him in the end. In hindsight, I should have figured that part out too since she kept talking about that patient too. 

Great book. Kept me reading to figure out who did what. Excited to read more from Freida!

Finished in a day! Really enjoyed Bexley and the Shaw brothers. This series is gonna have a chokehold on me I already know. Now I have to wait for the next book 😫 Definitely check the trigger warnings as it deals with some dark stuff.

I love Jeneva (and Drew-past tense of draw 🤭) I have recently gotten back into the Thriller and Horror genre so I have been excited to read this. Really enjoyed it and it kept me reading well past my bedtime to find out what would happen. A Perfect Marriage was my first book by Jeneva and also adored it as well. Next up is "You Shouldn't Have Come Here" 🤗

Kayla never disappoints when it comes to a good steamy novella! Even discovered new tropes I like 🤭 If you enjoyed Trick Shot and Puck Shy you will love Silver Foxed.
