A fun, wild ride! I really loved how this book blended romance and suspense/thriller. 

It was hard not to get frustrated with Maggie. Especially in the past chapters. But I still really enjoyed watching her story unfold

Like most books in this genre, it’s best to go in blind and let the story unfold as you read

I'm not ok with the creepy feelings of the protagonist being sexually assaulted or that one or both of the men in the story abused her in some way and are just around her now to see if she realizes it and says something or if she's going to continue to be complicit and not say anything at all.  I also don't like supernatural stories.

Really loved this books. It was the perfect balance of mystery with romance. I loved the dual time lines and how they blended perfectly.

Recipe:

Dual timeline - then and now
Love triangle… errr, rectangle?
A pinch of mystery
A dash of eerie suspense
And the perfect amount of spice
