4.5

4.5 stars! I LOVED this. I saw it on the new shelf at the library and had to check it out, even though I knew nothing about it. This was atmospheric, dark, sexy, suspenseful, and intriguing. Expertly plotted. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. 

Slight dock for how many times “by the Virgin’s tits” were said in the span of three chapters. I allow you one. 😂 

And I had a unique problem when it comes to suspense novels—I was attached to the characters and wanted MORE time with them/resolution. I really needed one more chapter of wrapping it up. But all-in-all this was great and I’d wholeheartedly recommend.
