I finished this in 2 days. It held my attention & I enjoyed the characters. Kind of a slow burn romance.

This had great reviews but never built any kind of suspense for me. It was fine for a free title but it was just kind of boring & slow. I was in the mood for a feel good mystery but this just didn’t do it for me.

I listened to half of this book and I truly didn’t care what happened so I deleted it. I usually love Lauren Blakely’s books but this one didn’t have enough going on in the plot to keep my interest. I suggest a side plot to engage the reader better. No chemistry, thin plot

For me, the story did not build any kind of momentum. It was just something to listen to until the last couple hours when there was a little bit of suspense. I’m surprised this has such great ratings.

This came out in 2015 at the height of the BDSM phenomenon. A ton of books flooded the market around that time and this one incorporated the trend. I honestly would've liked the book better without that twist.

The plot was good and I enjoyed it up until the end which felt rushed and then everything was tied up perfectly. It kind of ruined it for me

A story about a clever octopus who brings several people together with his unusual intellect. So enjoyable. I will be looking for more by this author

All the feels!! It is pretty rare to find a book with such complicated, textured thoughts & personalities. Some of the descriptive metaphors were so brilliant that I wish I could memorize them & have readily available to recite at will. Love this book!!!

I listen to a lot of books & this is a 4. It was entertaining but not one of those that you can't wait to listen to.

I think it could have a little more heart. There are some past traumas mentioned but not discussed in depth. It was an opportunity for the characters to bond more & for us to feel a deeper connection w the characters.

This is a really well written adventure with great character development. The main character is a 17 yr old girl but most other characters are older.

I think the target audience is probably teens to young adults but I have adult children & still enjoyed it.

I'm super stingy w 5 stars. I highly recommend even though I'd have liked a few steamy scenes.
