First and foremost, I would like to thank Mr. Souza and Booksirens for giving me the opportunity to read and review an ARC of this book.


This is my voluntary, unbiased, and honest review.

TRIGGER WARNING: INFIDELITY

⭐️⭐️⭐️
3 Stars= It was an enjoyable read.

This book was a fun read. The first 50% was enjoyable, but once the big twist (which happened in a matter of two pages) was revealed, the last 50% of the story fell flat and was fairly predictable.

Once the twist was shared with us, things just happened too quickly. The main character seemed to figure things out almost instantly, and there was very little buildup to her trying to piece together the tragic event that had happened to her and who had caused it. She somehow figured out the who, when, where, why, and how when she had very little information to go on.

Things quickly became over the top and almost unbelievable as well. While in the beginning a few things here and there seemed far-fetched, such as a housekeeper knowing how to draw blood and having the medical kit to do so readily available (which should have been a major red flag), they were doable.

The conclusion to the story was also too neat. The main character formulated this plan to set her life straight and pulled it off flawlessly and without any hiccups. The problem was solved with very little action. The solution was given to us in the form of a present wrapped in a neat little bow.

The story also didn't share anything about what happened to the main character after the situation got sorted out. It was just like this, this, and this happened to her, and life went on.

Overall, while the story was enjoyable and entertaining, it could have used a bit more substance. More buildup and suspense could have been added in certain places. But what we got wasn't too bad either.

I will be checking out other books by this author in the future.
