Thoughts

I absolutely love all of Lynn Painter’s books, and this one was just as amazing. I really enjoyed this book. It shares a beautifully heartwarming and sweet story about first love and friendship. The characters are incredibly lovable, and her writing style, as always, was fantastic. The book was really easy to read and had some really funny moments. Don’t just walk, run to get this book right now.

I want to thank Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

BLURB
Maggie Maxwell didnโ€™t mean to become the townโ€™s newest scandal.

But moving into her dead uncleโ€™s haunted manor came with more than creaky headboardsโ€”it came with murders. Multiple. Right in her backyard.

And a six-foot-four officer, built like a wall of muscle and her filthiest desires, babysitting her like sheโ€™s breakable. Heโ€™s brooding, bossy, and overprotectiveโ€”and Maggie? Sheโ€™s sworn off quick flings. Especially since her love spell has a new side effect: obsessive, zombie-like exes who abandon their families just to worship the ground she walks on.
Harlow from A.D. Wilde @authoradwilde is coming soon!

HARLOW
Insanityโ€”I can taste it lingering on the tip of my tongue, threatening to slip down my throat and poison me. But my hunger for revenge is relentless. And Iโ€™m not leaving this earth until my appetite has been satiated. 

The only problem: Iโ€™m being robbed of my sins before I can commit them. And I know exactly whoโ€™s to blame.

LYNX
Sheโ€™s prepared to stain her soul by seeking sweet revenge. And although I enjoy watching her toy with her prey, I wonโ€™t allow her to condemn herself to hell for eternity. 

Iโ€™ll lurk in the dark, stealing her gratification the way she steals my breath, until every drop of blood of the men who wronged her has run dry. 

After all, monsters like me were built for this.
