I feel like this story is a mix of suspense and 50 Shades of Gray. It's written quite well, comparable to other books of it's sexual-natured genre. It's fun in the fact that it take a risque mix of material and forms a story from it. I, personally, couldn't exactly relate the the characters- but I had fun reading the book nevertheless. It kind of let you explore a more dark and mystique sense of attraction.It's a thriller, fairly fast paced, yet easy to read. You'll move from page to page quickly and the storyline takes you on various ups and downs. Some people like this style of suspense, others do not. It's not necessarily slow building but rather it's got a lot of short bursts of action and then short bursts of slow points. It keeps you own your toes. For people who want a more gradual suspense this book probably isn't your style. But for people like me who kind of like that 'rollercoaster' effect it was a fun read.It's relatively short at 265. pages. It keeps you engaged throughout the entire story. It kind of reminds me of a lifetime movie. In fact I could see it being made into a Lifetime movie someday- haha. It has that vibe to it. Sexual, suspenseful, with that ever-so-delicate tinge of constant fear.Julie, the main character, could relate to a few women. But I feel for most women she's more of a fun character to gossip over. They can't necessarily create a personal relationship with her, but she's sort of that next door neighbor that you always wished you could spy on. If you like watching Lifetime movies but can't connect with the characters, you'll like reading this book. It's the same basic vibe.Basic overall of the book: Julie meets a man who essentially opens up new sexual desires, but alas (as with most of these encounters) things go wrong. Her life then becomes in peril and she must go through anything just to save herself.
