the way Alec and Dina are trying to avoid each other and the way their breaths catch even to the thought of meeting after years 😭😭😭✨🎀🤌🏻
it’s kinda slow, but so is always the start of any book, so yeah, imma keep reading.

i want to just get done with this book🙂‍↕️

they torture him, while my reading is torturing me😭😭😭😭😭

what am i reading???😭 and why am i reading it??😭😭😭 it’s horrifyingly horror 😭😭😭

it’s 02:10 am, loved the twist. i love this author. consider me sleepy and crying 🥹✨🤌🏻

plotting for a murder: check ✅

let me tick off some boxes of spookiness from this book
- morally grey characters ✅
- dead owner of a house ✅
- husband with a dark past ✅
- stalker ✅
- intruder ✅
- corpse under the floor ✅
- a threat to murder the main character ✅

“five years ago, at their so called ‘our spot’ their lips met, but in present, Alec hates her for doing what Dani did after the night they kissed?” — that’s the prologue and the ending has me hooked. i like when there’s suspense, it gives the reader a reason to read. 💝

they have been best friends since almost 7-8 years, and there have been moments when Stella, the FMC felt they would be more than just friends but she never asked as that was the only way to keep Luka, the MMC.
it’s a small town romance, very lovey-dovey. slow paced, and i do not like how this writer writes, it’s too complex, a lot of details, i’m stubborn so i’ll read it anyway!! ⁉️⁉️🫠

idk but all the characters are somehow linked to somebody who’s dead or is gonna die, and there’s no evidence that the characters were not a part of the accident/murder, or god knows what. so yeah, i like how we can trust no one here!!! and it kinda makes my guts squeal too. ⁉️⁉️🥹

Tricia, the FMC, is newly married to Ethan. she worked at an online magazine before the wedding, but it somehow shutdown, and she has been procrastinating since then, and the wedding, the honeymoon, and now ‘looking for the new house’ and ofcourse the pregnancy almost makes her not find a job soon.
she’s curious person is all i can say about her from her interests and discoveries!! ⁉️

i’m almost 21 chapters deep into the book and yet i have not come across one lie in it, but sure as hell i did find an intruder which somehow makes me feel like am i reading ‘the intruder’s script but the cover of the book does say ‘never lie’!!! ⁉️

it also has 2 timelines and 2 POVs. i love how Tricia is so fond of her husband, she’s a realist and knows he’s not perfect, but then, ‘who is even??’ is what she says to herself while she admires her husband even more.💝

idk but i’m a sucker for the love part in every book, be it any genre, if someone is in love and they express it in a way i have never read before, consider me underlining!!!

this book is either a little slow paced than ‘the boyfriend’ or i’m sleepy. it’s 02:04 am 🎀

again a fast paced book, i love these!! 🤌🏻✨😭

as i said i would be starting another one of Freida’s books in no time, here i am😭😭✨🤌🏻 let’s see what this book has got. ✨🤌🏻🥹

can’t wait to finish. idk why i almost glanced at the last paragraph of the last chapter of the book. i’m so glad i did not have my specs on or it would have ruined the fun if i knew the ending 😭😭😭 being blind sometimes saves you🥹🤌🏻

the way the two stories finally dwell into each other, the way they were connected, and the twists that come along😭 shockers !!! i love this author.
it’s such a smooth and fast read. 💝 it’s a five star without any doubt!!!!

chapter 1: he loves her since she was 4 and at the same time he wants to squeeze the life out of her.

chapter 13: he likes her. likes her too much. he cannot stop thinking about her. he likes her so much that he sometimes feels he’s choking. and at the same time, he wants to kill her!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔

[spoiler alert ‼️] meeting your ex? having your best friend murdered? finding it out with your other best friends’ boyfriend?? finding out the guy who victim was dating since a year, and was about to get exclusive with USED A BURNER PHONE!!!!!!!!! i got chills. goosebumps. and anything that’s synonymous. consider me scared and still reading!!! i’m shameless😭

you cannot put the book down if you’re one of those who puts the book down at the end of a chapter, because the end of a chapter in this book makes you want to read the next till the end and then the cycle just never ends. 😭✨🤌🏻
it’s the end of chapter 10 and i guess we finally have a victim😭😭 im so happy!!! is that creepy? 😭😭✨🤌🏻🎀

freida has somehow managed to get me out of my reading slump. after so long, i’m excited to see how a book ends, and to not have a clue about it, like who is going to get murdered, or who is the victim, and exactly to focus on which character because anyone can be the suspect or the victim😭😭😭🥹🤌🏻✨ i love her 🎀

the search for the mystery man begins!!!✨

the twists in the book are unbelievable and keep you not wanting to keep this book down. i’m glad such books are limited because then i’d be failing miserably!
guys say things like “i feel like you’re the perfect woman” and then touch you inappropriately. any girl would snap at such behaviour. and Sydney does too. but The Mystery Man comes at her rescue!!!
romance in mystery novels!!!

that’s my first Freida McFadden. and it says on the cover “more twists than a corkscrew”, and i would have said that is some boasting right there but then, i’m swung by the prologue itself😭🤌🏻✨ it went from ‘butterflies and flowers and a guy who’s madly in love’ to ‘she’s so gorgeous i might kill her!!!’ what???!!!
“is he the man of your dreams or your worst nightmare?” i’m crying

Dante being confused about caring for her even tho she has done everything to make him hate her; the way he says the ache of finding out the truth about Tempest hurt him more than the stab in his chest🥵 — the twists are too good, and their hot chemistry is chilling😭😭✨🤌🏻

i have 132 bookmarks, all for making reels on my IG: @scrawlingss , and i’m so excited!! this book made me realise i can never be bored by smut. i’d put thrillers, rom-coms, YA, fantasy, mystery, or any other genre aside, but booktok/smut will always have a soft spot in the back of my mind, something i will always go for.
do give a follow @scrawlingss on IG for more 🙂‍↔️

He called her “Little Witch” and that almost had me … The way Dante is shown chapter by chapter, as someone who is so misunderstood by Tempest and her fam to someone who is legit one of my favourite male characters, uff!!!
The sudden shock from Tempest has hit him hard in his guts and harder in his balls, hehe. 😙🤭
In a world of boys, he’s a gentleman!!😭😭😭💞❤️‍🔥

she calls Dante by “Dick”, “Psycho”, “Pedo”, “Mr. Cocky Psychopath” 🥵🥵❤️‍🔥🖤❤️ while he calls Tempest “Little Cyclone” and “Miss Hurrincane” ✨💘✨😭🤌🏻 — these nicknames are just too much for me!!! 😭😭😭 consider me crying internally!!!
