Home Is Where The Bodies Are ✨Book Review

Home is Where The Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose was an easy, quick read, but it lacked the gripping suspense I was hoping for. The plot was predictable, making it more of a casual mystery than a thrilling page-turner. If you’re looking for something light and easy to follow, this might be for you—but don’t expect major twists. ⭐⭐⭐½/5”

I’ve read a couple of Jeneva Rose books and in my opinion, they are just average. But I will say her book covers are absolutely beautiful and unique. I love that this one looks like a VHS tape.

What did you think of the book? Is it on your list to read?

I read this no one ever really talks about it. It was good and it was very predictable, but I loved it and the reason I got it was because of the cover.
