Bottom line, I cannot, in good conscience recommend this book to anyone. I’ve given it 2 stars instead of 1 because it was as well-written as it was. But do yourself a favor and wait for the follow-up. -Smut Matters
I was hoping for a good, creepy mystery, but didn’t get it. -Smut Matters
I really wanted to go higher than 2.5 stars because the book was well-written, the mystery itself was decently planned out, though not completely solved; this will clearly stretch out over the course of the series. But I couldn’t go higher. The initial concept just made me too mad to see beyond it. – Smut Matters
In fact, I decided to DNF this one, but I talked to someone at Lori Foster’s Reader Author Get Together who said he got better, so I decided to finish it. Which turned out to be a mistake. Because he did not. – Smut Matters
They’re fun to read, but you have to really suspend your disbelief in order to buy that this one woman is managing to be involved with 15 or more murders. – Smut Matters
It could have been a really interesting look at how these two differing viewpoints came together and influenced each other. Instead it turned into a completely chauvinistic, condescending view of Chloe’s virginity and how weird and undesirable it made her. – Smut Matters
Anyway, I’m moving on. I still love Emma Chase’s stuff, and I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. – Smut Matters
This was a rough one. I really struggled to finish this one, but it was for my book club, so I kept going. – Smut Matters
I hated this guy so much that I can’t even tell you much about the rest of the characters. The fact that everyone else in this book sees how he acts and says and does nothing about it makes me want to throw up. – Smut Matters
I guess I’m a little confused by this book and all the love it receives. I mean, are we really supposed to root for this couple? – Smut Matters
