⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The title really should have warned me. The Temptation Test lives up to its name because I couldn’t resist. Let's just say this book is responsible for a rather accidental extended lunch break (almost 2 hours over…oops!!). I couldn't put it down, my curiosity got the better of me, and I just had to keep reading to find out what happened next.
Rachel’s writing hooks you in so effortlessly. I loved the flawed characters and the moral complexity surrounding their choices. The tension builds so naturally, and I found myself completely invested. I genuinely felt as though I had become Dev, seeing everything through his perspective. I’m still thinking about the moral questions the story raises. How would I react? Am I looking for justice, or redemption?
This isn't a light-hearted thriller. It's a story of survival, obsession and impossible choices, weaving in some heavy topics with real emotional depth. I finished it with so many thoughts and feelings, which is exactly what I want from a book.
This was my first Rachel North novel, and it certainly won't be my last. I'll be adding more of her books to my TBR.
Many thanks to the Author for sending me this ARC
