This was SO GOOD. There’s so much suspicion, mystery, tension. I loved it. The FMC & MMC are enjoyable. The spice is 3.5/5 tbh. Can’t wait for a second book!!

This book was nothing like what I was expecting. I was expecting a true horror novel. Not a perverse, overly detailed and grotesque trauma filled booklet.
