I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The plot had some promise, but it often felt rushed and a bit undercooked. There were parts where the descriptions went overboard, and other times it seemed like I had to fill in too many blanks myself. This made the story feel a bit all over the place.

There was also a lot of “telling” instead of “showing,” which made it hard to really get into the story and connect with the characters.

I also found it tricky distinguishing between the different perspectives. The characters' voices were DI's not feel distinct enough, which sometimes led to confusion about who was narrating a particular section.

On the plus side, the smut scenes were pretty good. However, they sometimes felt too fast-paced, which threw off the balance a bit.
