A review by katvou
The Trap by N.J. Weeks

dark funny mysterious tense fast-paced

4.0

“No exemptions. No lives spared. This is more than revenge… this is fate.”
“Fine. If she wants to play, then let’s fvcking play.”
“Moan like your life depends on it. We have a meter to feed after all.”

Dark erotic thriller with Saw vibes, deadly games, and full of twists and turns.

I loved the tension and banter between the MMC, Colson, and the FMC, Raiden. Their bratty black cat x filthy-mouthed golden retriever dynamic worked so well together, leading to some funny, flirty one-liners (“Wet? Yes. For you? No.”).

I enjoyed the escape room aspect and the deadly games, and I would have loved to read more about what goes down in there.

I’m not going to say much about the plot itself because I don’t want to accidentally spoil anything. The storyline kept me hooked, and I finished the book in one sitting.

I can’t wait to read more!
