You Shouldn't Have Come Here

Would have given it a 10/10 if all the action wasn’t packed into the last couple chapters. The last chapter seemed thrown in there with a drop off

When someone is so incredibly good looking, do we often miss the red flags? In a slow burn of cat and mouse, we meet Grace and Calvin. Two gorgeous people meeting. Calvin runs an AirB-n-B and Grace is his guest for the week. Something is amiss and you can just feel it as you continue reading. Grace feels the ominous energy but she keeps telling herself, it is her imagination. Calvin is sweet as pie.

But then the sheriff comes knocking on the door telling them a girl is missing. She was supposed to be staying at Calvin’s AirB-n-B but Calvin insists the girl never made it. She was a “no show.” Yet Grace had uncovered clothes in one of her drawers in the room she’s occupying. Other things Grace is beginning to notice, such as Charlotte, a love sick female who has a major crush on Calvin, Joe, Calvin’s hot-tempered brother who harbors a secret, Betty, the beekeeper who acts over motherly, and finally, another guest named Albert who just shows up as a guest when Grace knows she specifically booked the place all to herself. What is it that makes Grace feel unsafe and unwelcomed? What is this town hiding from her? From Calvin? What is Calvin hiding in the basement?

In this deadly cat and mouse game, we question who is the cat and who is the mouse.

Easy read and once again, the author gives us a brilliant twisted ending. I enjoyed the twist but as a fan of this author, I will be honest and say, I knew there was going to be one.

3.5. The ending had a twist but it wasn’t a huge shock. I knew something was up and felt it coming early on, from 25% onward. I prefer a HEA so I was still holding out for certain supposed villains to be proven innocent in the end. Call me a sucker but I thought Calvin was loveable up until the end. I think it would have been a better twist if Grace/Avery had secretly been Bri’s sister coming to rescue and avenge her—one of my early theories. Another theory I had early on was that Grace was a psycho obsessed with Calvin who had stopped and killed Bri to prevent her from ever making it to the airbnb. In my head, all of the better endings had Calvin end up innocent

Did not see that ending coming!

I knew there would be a twister but honestly did not see this turning out the way it did! Definitely did not disappoint!
