Behind Closed Doors (B.A. Paris) - Review




Behind Closed Doors
B.A. Paris
⭐: 4/5

Pros: as usual, Paris has the ultimate plot twists that leave goosebumps on your arms and you thinking, "what the HECK just happened? Let me go reread that!"

I really loved how forward Jack (one of the MC) was with Grace (another MC). I don't remember seeing a lot of psychopaths in other reads being so honest in his delusions and appreciated that. I also appreciated how resilient Grace was despite having had the life before and during this ordeal that she did.

Cons: there were some edits that were missed such as at one point, it says she heard his phone ringing, but then was mad when he didn't answer it? There are other times like this, too, but if you can just keep going, it's worth it.

You should NOT read this if you're easily triggered by domestic violence.

Conclusion: overall, I'd give this a 4/5. It was my most favorite read ever, but it's one I'd recommend to those who enjoy a good "wtf" book.

The Breakdown (B.A. Paris) - Review


The Breakdown
B.A. Paris
⭐:5/5

Okay, WOW. I've been seeing Paris recommendations all over, but now I see what the hype was and have no regrets! As usual, let's head into the pros/cons style.

Pros: the character development was on par. Everything was believable about them and their interactions. The plot itself absolutely blew me away. I'm usually able to sort of predict where something is going, but I was blindsided in this one! I will tell you, if you're the one who talks to themselves through a book, especially when it's crazy, you're probably going to be saying, "what... the... __" more than just a few times!

Cons: my only big con here is sometimes the writing isn't easy to follow, especially when there are text message exchanges. I had to reread a few times to be sure the right messages matched the right people, but was pretty positive it mixed up at one point.

Conclusion: first, I get the hype and think more of you than not will, too. Second, if you're looking for a medium-paced book with plot twists and turns, as well as a "who in the world did this?" The Breakdown is your go-to!

The Finalists (David Bell)
