2.0

I didn't realize going in that this was a story of the search for a book on sex magic. It's listed as horror, but it's not. It's an erotic thriller. 

I didn't find it particularly easy to read - it's a little too repetitive, and I didn't warm to any of the characters. I persevered through as a wanted to see how it all turned out in the end, but it really wasn't my cup of tea. I found the ending rather disappointing.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
