DNF at 37%. Nothing has really happened yet. We’ve met the characters. Deanna loves murder. But we don’t really see it. She doesn’t romanticize it but gives the facts like she’s reading a grocery list with *insert adjective for ripe fruit* here descriptions. Plus the plot holes. Everything is delivered to her because she doesn’t want the temptation of going out and killing.
1: she knows what she’s doing is wrong but doesn’t take much action. She licked herself away. Has stayed that if she turned herself in that prison has too many temptations to kill. (Hello?!? Solitary confinement.
2: she opens the door for packages once they have left?? Why not just leave and commit murder...yes the need is more at night which is why she pays in pills for the neighbor to really lock her in then...but if this was really a huge thing she would have tried by getting out during the day when not locked up so well.
3: she has a fucking therapist?!? Where is he in all this except to not report her? He even knows her real identity??? Why doesn’t he report her for being at risk to harm others? Any decent human being would. She is a danger to community. She already has gotten off Scott free once. Also, most therapists try to stay away from only over the phone. He doesn’t sound like a real therapist. Only one you can buy but he’s expensive like a real one as if you’re buying his silence not his time. Just...ugh.
4: I won’t mention the erotica but the first half is just and pretty much only that. Plot...where are you?!?

We do get multiple perspectives. One of which is a pedophile, another the girl he wants, the delivery guy who may be a thrown in love interest given how much he’s obsessed with this mysterious women and of course Deanna. The first half of the novel is just putting together that the pedophile is one of Deanna’s clients as an online cam sex girl and her eventually figuring that out. And then a plot takes form. But we haven’t gotten there yet and we are over 120 pages in to a just over 300 page book!

Ugh!
