Loved the way it incorporated the MC's from the Code Of Silence. Can't give enough kudos to ST.

I didn't have any complaints about this book candy Can't wait to read the next in the series.

It was OK. A good, fast-paced novel (no slow burn here) is very dark and descriptive (especially the spicy scenes). I wasn't 100% committed and was waiting for the 'thing' to hook me in (excuse the pun), but it soon became clear that it wasn't going to happen and became more a battle of will to finish it. I was unsure if this was because I listened to it on audiobook or whether because it was based on a fairy tale. That being said. I did like the reference to the original fairy tale characters.

I would have liked the FMC to have been more fiesty and resistive to the MMC due to the nature of their relationship.

Wow, I know I'll be thinking about this book for weeks to come.

This novel tells a story that, unfortunately, is a reality for so many women.

It was emotive and captivating. One minute I was pumping my first into the air with such joy and pride for the FMC, then I was gripped with terror and apprehension, was crying at the trauma she was exposed to and how this is truth for some.

It is a difficult read, very graphic in some parts, but this adds to the story and really gets you to reflect though it is fiction, this is more than just a story.

The author has written this novel in such a way that even though some of the chapters were difficult to read and digest (due to the nature, not the writing). I wanted to, NEEDED to keep reading, to find out if the FMC had a HEA.

I would definitely recommend Long Shot, but please check trigger warnings as the themes in this book may be triggering for many.

I struggled to really get into the story. Neither the MCs were likeable. Unfortunately I saw the Netflix series beforehand therefore there was no suspense for me.
