Holy wow! So I ordinarily can figure out a thriller who done it. This story is told in the dual POV of Grace (a woman who has travelled for her yearly vacation to the wilds of Wyoming) and Calvin (the Air BnB owner who is hosting her). There is chemistry and the tension between Calvin wanting more and Grace wanting a fling. This book had enough mysterious people, “off” situations, and just enough about the main characters that kept me off kilter and enthralled. It was a tremendous twist and I highly recommend. There is more below BUT …
*****SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!**
DO NOT READ IF DON’T WANT TO KNOW MORE!!!!!!
I thought there was something off about both main characters. I couldn’t “like” either one, but not enough that I hated them. The story pretty much sets up Calvin as the bad guy as there is a weird death with his ex, and a missing girl who was supposed to stay with him previous to Grace, plus his compulsive need to get Grace to stay. But there was something about grace as well. I just thought maybe she’s the twist? But there were some other minor characters that were off enough as well to keep you guessing like the brother Joe, the obsessed with Calvin “friend” Char, even the weird old bee lady. But I kept coming back to Grace and Calvin. Which one would be the actual psycho?? They both seem capable. And holy cow! The end did not disappoint. Even though I was leaning a certain way, I was not quite prepared for the ending.
