You Shouldn’t Have Come Here – Book Review

Quick Review:- This wasn’t Jeneva Rose’s greatest thriller and I didn’t really like it as much as I thought I would.

Rating:- 3/5

Grace Evans, an overworked New Yorker looking for a total escape from her busy life, books an Airbnb on a ranch in the middle of Wyoming. When she arrives, she’s pleasantly surprised to find that the owner is a handsome man by the name of Calvin Wells. But there are things Grace discovers that she’s not too pleased about: A lack of cell phone service. A missing woman. And a feeling that something isn’t right with the town.

Despite her uneasiness and misgivings from Calvin’s friends and family, the two grow close and start to fall for one another. However, as her departure date nears, things between them start to change for the worse. Grace grows wary of Calvin as his infatuation for her seems to turn into obsession. Calvin fears that Grace is hiding something from him.

Told from dual points of view, You Shouldn’t Have Come Here is a thrill ride and a cautionary tale of what can go wrong when you open up your house and your heart to a total stranger.

The Perfect Marriage and Home is Where the Bodies Are are two of the thrillers I read by Jeneva Rose, which I enjoyed them. So naturally You Shouldn’t Have Come Here got my attention. I thought it will be great as the other two thrillers.

But in short words, I was disappointed.

We have Grace Evans who is from New York and who rents out an Airbnb in a rural part of Wisconsin. We have Calvin who owns that Airbnb. The story is told in the POVs of both Grace and Calvin so we get to know what each of the characters think about each other. There is a brief romance brewing between Grace and Calvin. Of course there is also the case of a missing woman who was actually a guest at Calvin’s Airbnb.

At first, I thought there is going to be romance suspense. The characters, including Grace and Calvin were all unreliable. The whole story to me was unbelievable and unrealistic in my opinion. The ending however was unpredictable but then again it was an unrealistic ending as well.

Overall, this is only worth 3 stars.
