Critic reviews

"With so many suspense thrillers hitting the shelves, it's becoming a tough job to...stand out...Jessica Jarlvi is one of those authors who can just do that." (Mesha's Corner)

Held Interest but Questionably Categorized Genre

This book was decent and entertaining but it was heavy on the erotica so if you don’t expect it, I can see how it could throw you off. However, I didn’t see a lot of the twists and turns that unraveled so that made it worth it. The character development could’ve been stronger so the events made more sense.

Enjoyed the story but...

I didn't think all of the lesbian sex scenes were necessary. Even if it weren't lesbian, many scenes were just unnecessary and gratuitous. I don't know why the author felt so compelled to graphically describe a lesbian sex scene. The story would have been much better without it.

loved it

it had more turns than i expected. couldn't stop listening. i highly recommend this book.

Erotica Oh-My-God-ica!

Very Intense plot with well-constructed characters. Sex triangles, unrequited love, blackmail and betrayal. This book has it all! Whew!

Awful

Terrible story with uniformly negative characters. The performance was okay but not enough to compensate.
