... Read moreIt's fascinating how a book can grab you right from the start, isn't it? When I picked up 'I Shouldn't Have Come Here' by Jeneva Rose, I knew I was in for a wild ride. She’s often hailed as 'the Queen of Twists,' a title that immediately sets high expectations for any thriller reader. And let me tell you, even at the halfway point, this book is living up to that reputation. You can feel the tension building between Grace and Calvin, and every page turn makes you wonder if they’re truly innocent or hiding something sinister. What I love about Jeneva Rose’s writing, and thrillers in general, is that they keep you guessing. It’s not just about the big reveal at the end; it's about the subtle clues dropped along the way, the red herrings, and the psychological games the characters play. I always find myself trying to piece together the puzzle as I read. Sometimes I even jot down notes – who suspected whom, what inconsistencies I've noticed – almost like I'm a detective alongside the protagonist! It really enhances the reading experience, especially when you're dealing with an author like Jeneva Rose who expertly crafts these intricate plots. Speaking of tracking your reading, have you ever used an app like Bookly? I saw it mentioned somewhere, and it's been a game-changer for me. It’s so satisfying to see my progress, like knowing I'm at page 146 out of 322, or how many pages I’ve read in a session. Not only does it help you keep track of your pace (like reading 0h 33m in a session), but it also motivates you to hit your reading goals. For a book like 'I Shouldn't Have Come Here,' where every page counts towards that ultimate twist, it's really helpful to visualize your journey through the story. It also helps me remember details if I take a long break. When you’re deep into a thriller, especially one from an author known for shocking turns, the anticipation is half the fun. You start questioning everything – every character's motive, every seemingly innocent remark. Is Grace truly in danger, or is she orchestrating something? Is Calvin a victim or a manipulator? These are the questions that keep me turning pages late into the night. It's why I'm particularly excited to see how Jeneva Rose pulls off the ending in 'I Shouldn't Have Come Here.' Her previous works have set a high bar, and I'm eager to see if this one will join the ranks of her most unforgettable twists. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers with genuinely surprising conclusions, then keeping an eye on this book is definitely a good idea!

So here are my honest thoughts on the book so far: 📚The biggest win for the author is that she easly transitions well between timelines. Throughout the book she jumps timelines often giving us background information on each character she does this seamlessly! I’m also a squirrel and get confused
