Josh's immaturity irritated me, but its to be expected with a family like that. What his father did was child abuse and cruelty. I was happy when Sarah basically told his dad to get f**ked because someone needed to. 

The spice was 2 out of 5 🌶

This book would benefit from editing. You can cut half the chapters and not lose any context or buildup. There is slow burn and there is molasses.

Tart of Darkness

The characters are very odd. Dani is 29 but written like she's borderline retired. Her college student entourage is written like a group of 12 year olds
