A woman investigating her brother's apparent suicide finds herself falling for her prime suspect--his darkly mysterious girlfriend--in this edgy Southern gothic thriller. "Get it out of me." It was the last message Holly received from her brother, Dane, before he was found cleaved open in his fiancée's lavish Savannah townhouse. Police ruled his death a suicide sparked by psychosis, but Holly can't shake the idea that something else must have happened... Something involving another message he sent that night, the one that mentioned a "game" his fiancée, Maura, wanted to play... Determined to discover the truth, Holly begins to stalk Maura--a magnetic, black-eyed florist with a penchant for carnivorous plants. But what begins as an investigation quickly veers into a darker fixation, one that lures Holly into the depths of Maura's world: Savannah high society, eerie black roses, and a whisper of something more sinister. Soon, Holly is feeling a dark attraction to the one woman she shouldn't trust. As Holly falls deeper for Maura and her secrets, she's left with only one choice: find out what happened to Dane... before she meets the same fate.

This is the type of book that will pull you in from beginning to end. This was a quick read for me, I had to really force myself to put it down the first night, it’s definitely a page turner. 

I really did love the way this book was written, it’s not what you expect from a typical thriller, and truly just such an intriguing and eerie story. 

Maura’s character is definitely the most shocking. She’s so mysteriously written and somewhat creepy, yet also captivating to everyone around her. I constantly found myself trying to figure out what was up with her and when I finally found out, it was definitely nothing like I had expected. 

I also loved how Holly’s character was written. How she’s so determined to figure Maura out, but still falls into her trap. It shows just how powerful Maura is. 

The ending of the book is what really gets you. I think this is unlike anything I’ve ever read before and I enjoyed every minute of it. 

I would highly recommend reading this. 5/5 stars.
