Holy Moly!
This is such a strange book to rate and review. Joan isn't your typical protagonist. I don't even know if I like her... Joan is insecure, sex-obsessed, hungry for love and acceptance. She's a victim and she's not. This is dark and I feel her rage.

I have a whirlwind experience listening to this book. I couldn't stop listening to this wonderful narration by Emma Roberts, but when I did, I don't feel like picking up where I left off. Maybe I was unsure if I can handle more disturbing scenes that will be thrown at me. In the end, I didn't hate it nor love it. So it's 3� for me.

This isn't a book for everyone; crass language and explicit sexual content.

Barbara Interesting..you classified it as a thriller although it doesn't sound like one. Disturbing scenes already take place in reality...I'm trying to escape from those LOL. I think I'll pass....thanks for the review!

Kay It's a weird one Barbara I don't know how to call it. Definitely some kind of psycho, 😁


Kat (Books are Comfort Food) Hmm, sounds odd, for sure. I’m sorry this wasn’t a good match for you, overall. Pick up something happy to clean your palette. ❤️

Kay That's probably a good idea Kat, but already started mysteries. Can't be darker than Animal. 😉

Tina Wow I’m not sure if I could handle this..lol…sounds good but maybe too unusual for me.

Kay It's quite different from my regular reads.


Meredith (Trying to catch up!) This does sound interesting, but also very intense. I am not sure it's for me, but I enjoyed your review!

Kathryn in FL Great review, sometimes the three stars are the hardest reviews to write.
