Soooooooooooooooooooooo… 2.5 stars this time :(

This isn’t going to be the most positive review. I like Riley Hart’s writing a lot. I enjoy a lot of the stuff on her back list. But her most recent stuff has not been hitting the mark for me. Which is a bummer, because without fail I pick up everything that she writes, the minute it’s published and available.
I was seriously excited for this installment of Briar County.

However, I don’t believe I liked this book.

For a few reasons.
But the most important one is that these tropes, the one's in this book- are cookie cutter for a reason. The plot is definitely a tried and true formula. But it didn’t work in this case.

It fell super flat for me.

Will I stop reading Riley? Absolutely not. I love her, and even though this wasn’t my favorite book, or even my favorite series, I think she is a great author. I just want a lil summin’ more from the next release <3
