This was a surprise hit for me. Through the whole thing I often found myself thinking "no, theres no way anyone would do this" but at the same time, I could not put this book down! I kept switching what I thought from "I think Calvin is weird and guilty of something" to "maybe he has duel personality" to "something is def wrong with her"... it was then I realized this book is really good and REALLY entertaining because I could NOT figure what was going on! Such a fun read!

HOOOOLY MOOOOLY. My jaw is off the floor. What. A. Wild. Ride. I need to go stare at the wall in the dark for a few minutes....

Okay, I'm back! I have heard so many wonderful things about this author, but this was my first time reading a book from her. It certainly won't be my last! This was a crazy story. Nothing feels right, but you just can't put a finger in WHAT doesn't feel right. The main character, Grace, has the same feeling, but many times she ignores it or second guesses herself. So many time I wanted to scream, "Get out there lady!" at her. I mean no cell service and no wifi? I'd be out of there in 5 minutes 😆 The whole book has this creepy, unknown feeling just looming over you at all times. I'll be honest, the first 25% I felt was a bit slow - but BOY OH BOY did it pick up after that.

"We all have scars and each one has a story. I wondered what story his would tell."

This story is told from dual POVs which is my favorite! First we have Grace (Airbnb guest) and then we have Calvin (Airbnb host), and I definitely enjoyed each one and getting a glimpse into their minds a bit more. This book has several recurring characters, and you never know who's telling the truth or who you can trust. I read this book I'm ONE day because I couldn't put it down! The ending?! 👀

Read if you enjoy:
• locked room vibes
• creepy small town
• family secrets
• twistssss

Thank you Blackstone Publishing for this e-ARC! This book is due for publication 4/25/33 and I recommend it. This review will be posted to my blogs (that.bookmom) in the future!

OMG! I adore Jeneva Rose! She knows how to hook up her readers with her tricky, heart throbbing, unputdownable stories and knows how to increase the pressure, keeping you on your toes, sucker punching you with her crazy twists!

I had so much fun and when I reach the ending, I villanelle laughed for nearly a hour. It was freaking smart!

Even though there are too many things happening in this book including haunted house theme, massacre of animals, attacks of wild animals, creepy townies, secrets of dysfunctional family, crazy ex one night stands, you just learn to handle them by wearing your big girl pants! You don’t have a moment to breath out, because tension keeps escalating! Each of the characters is more creepier than the other. They seem like suspects. None of them is trustworthy. You keep guessing which one is telling a little more truth.

And let’s talk about two narrators: Grace Evans takes a break from her busy life in NY where she works in finance. She throws a dart to the map to decide her next trip and finds herself rent an Airbnb on a ranch in the middle of Wyoming: a cracking house carrying its own darkness, embellished with taxidermies, surrounded by wild animals which are ready to massacre the poor chickens. Grace shouldn’t have gone there! She should have run after spending a day but there’s a catch. The broken hearted, hot as hell home owner Calvin Wells ( second narrator)who likes to get his hands dirty, walking around shirtless, showing his six packs, is absolutely hard to resist. Poor boy starts acting like love sick boy next door as soon as he meets with Grace.

They get connected as soon as they spend some quality time together. But townies are not welcoming Grace with open arms. Calvin’s close friend Charlotte who wants to be more than a friend counting the days for Grace’s return, acting like jealous sulking bitch. Bee lady Betty is like a mother to Calvin wants to protect him getting hurt, giving her piece of mind to Grace and Calvin’s shady brother car mechanic Joe shamelessly flirting with her. Let’s not forget about old drunk man who insists he’s another Airbnb guest stalking each move of Grace behind the window.

Grace wants to enjoy her limited time and return back but there are so many things make her alert instead of townies including absence of Wi-fi, a missing woman who also booked a room at Calvin’s place and lately her car stops working. As her last day approaches Calvin acts more dramatic as if he won’t let her go. Can she trust that broken man? Is he truly honest with her?

I’m stopping here. Just expect the unexpected! Enjoy your time with those two unreliable narrators, creepy townies, haunted house!
Even though some of the explanations were a little far fetched, I enjoyed my reading time a lot and giving my 5 starts and more villanelle laughs!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.

Grace decides to take a break from her work in New York and takes a vacation to Wyoming. The ranch she selects to visit is very remote, but she likes that. Even more, she is attracted to the ranch owner, Calvin. Calvin quickly becomes obsessed with Grace and she soon begins to worry when a sheriff shows up and asks about a missing girl named Briana that was to supposed to have stayed at the ranch before Grace. Calvin claims he doesn't know who she is, but does he?

Oh boy, this was quite a wild ride and I was here for every bit of it! From the very beginning, I knew I was going to like this story. It was creepy and I just knew something was not quite right. The ending blew me away and I can gladly say this may be my favorite book by Jeneva Rose yet. I really can't wait to see what she comes up with next. All the stars for YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE! If you don't have this already on your TBR, add it now and enjoy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This review will be posted to my Instagram Blog (@coffee.break.book.reviews) in the near future.

I was so excited to get this book that i started it immediately!

I love this author and i have really enjoyed her other books so i was excited to see what else she came up with. I loved the plot and the idea but the execution wasn’t my fav. Majority of it seemed like a romance. There was a hint of what was supposed to be suspense but it fell flat to me. The last 80 ish pages ramped up a gear and took a direction i wasn’t expecting so that was fun.

But ultimately this fell flat for me. I will definitely read more from this author because I’ve loved her other books. But i wanted more thrill.

💭 ᴍʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛꜱ:
This book is gripping from start to finish. The writing style is so so good it kept me hooked even though nothing major happens untill 80% in. And that is quite impressive. This is definitely a slow burn, nicely built up the characters but also a very quick read. And then BAM, everything happens at once. I especially loved the last 20% of this book and did not at all see it coming. I would have preferred if the tension was a bit more spread out throughout the book, but still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Another winner by Jeneva Rose!! "You Shouldn't Have Come Here" was a quick, suspenseful, great read.

This is one of the best thrillers I have read in my life. What starts as amazing world setting quickly turns very atmospheric and quite frankly sinister. Rose has a way of getting you into her characters heads and somehow makes even the most unlikeable of likable in their own unique way. The twist at the very end shook me to my CORE! I need a sequel asap. Also this wins for most beautiful cover I’ve ever seen.

Jeneva Rose does it again with this extremely spooky thriller! The handsome landlord is definitely a scary character and the heroine is gutsy and fun to read about! Highly recommended!

Jeneva Rose has done it again! Grace Evans books an Airbnb in a quiet, little town in Wyoming. She meets Calvin, the host, and as they get to know each other, they both begin to question if the other is hiding something. I was hooked right from the beginning. I loved the details throughout as well as the twists and turns at every corner. Her books always suck me in and leave me satisfied! What a wild ride that was and had me questioning everything the entire book! Let's just say I did NOT see that ending coming! I'm already awaiting her next book!! Thank you so much NetGalley and Brownstone Publishing for early access!

Grace escapes her busy NYC life and retreats to Wyoming to relax and reset. The owner of the ranch AirBnB is a handsome man named Calvin who’s eager to introduce her to his easygoing way of life. But Grace soon gets a feeling that something isn’t right with the ranch when the police come looking for a missing woman.

The first half of this story is a very slow burn and I thought was reading a romance, not necessarily a thriller. However, I will say the pace effectively developed the characters and set the scene. We are given the perspectives from Grace and Calvin, both unreliable narrators who make you wonder: who can you trust is telling the truth??

The author successfully created the feel of a sinister town and close knit community where outsiders just don’t belong. Conveniently, there is no Wi-Fi signal or cell service at the ranch. 🙄 The setting is atmospheric and at time creepy. It makes me want to visit Wyoming (even more than Yellowstone already did.) There’s a scene with the mountain lion that had my breath caught in my chest. 🫣

And THEN…we get to the last 20% or so and things start to get VERY messy. There’s a twist that comes out of left field and I’ll admit, it’s a mindf**k 🤯 I’m still not sure how I feel about it. It was added to give a shock factor but I kinda rolled my eyes a bit ?? While I devoured the book in a little over 24 hours, I’m still torn on where I stand. I’ve loved this authors previous books but this one doesn’t quite hit that spot.

The lesson here - the next time you plan a trip, make sure you REALLY research the AirBnB host!

3.75 ⭐️

What a twisted, curvy, out of the box, fantastic read about so many liars!

Grace Evans is taking a reprieve from the busy, hectic city life of New York and lands in an AirBnB on a beautiful ranch in gorgeous Wyoming. It becomes an even better getaway when the host of the AirBnB, Calvin Wells, is a gorgeous part of the Wyoming backdrop himself. A holiday fling ensues, but the more Grace gets to know Calvin, and all the people around him, the more she knows something isn’t quite right. Then the police show up at the house looking for a missing girl, reportedly headed to the same AirBnB that had just vanished. What is going on in this remote, beautiful ranch? What twisted games are being played? A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, only who is the predator and who is the prey?

This is the first novel I have read by Jeneva Rose, but it will not be the last. There are so many curve balls thrown at you, so many deviations you won’t see coming. She writes with both passion and intent as well as satire and humor, even directed at her own writing style! This is one thriller you will not see the end coming! This will gut punch you and leaving you breathless and wanting for more. I will be recommending this to everyone that loves. a good thriller that keeps you on your toes the whole way through!

Thank you so much to #NetGalley, #BlackstonePublishing and of course the talented author #JenevaRose for extending an ARC in exchange for my honest opinions. This should be on everyone’s radar to snap up on publication day in April of 2023, believe me… you’ll WANT to go there!

My full review will be posted to all my social media accounts, blog sites, and retail sites on publication day.

I hate to say that I found this one to be a little boring but I did. I think it started off too slow and then just remained slow until the last 10% of the book. Truthfully, I would've DNF'ed if I didn't like this author so much. This just wasn't it for me.

This book was definitely a page turner and the ending was completely a shock to me! The story was a bit different from some of Jeneva’s prior books but I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it!

Wow. Okay. Where do I begin? There were so many parts where I found myself rolling my eyes. The first half had me questioning if I was reading a Romance or a Thriller, yet for some reason it worked and I really liked this one. Between this author's little nod to Colleen Hoover, to her calling out her own cliches, while adding in her mystery and crazy twist, I couldn't help but devour it all with no regrets. This is going to be one of those love or hate type books with me joining the latter. I love this author's writing style, humor and talent and can't wait to read her next one. Four Stars.

Thank you Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for this ARC.

You Shouldn't Have Come Here is Jeneva Rose's newest thriller about an AirBnB adventure that goes from uncomfortable to creepy to absolutely terrifying all in a matter of a week.
