After reading the blurb for They Know If You’ve Been Bad or Good, I decided to dip my toe back into some darker romance. And I’m so glad I did! This book not only contained the love story between Hailey, Knox, and Liam, but also a ton of suspense and tension in the best of ways.
The spice in this book was incredible, but it was the suspense that really kept me turning the pages. The forced proximity of these three characters being locked into a cabin with a time bomb and scary outside influences was SO good. The games that go on both within and outside of that cabin truly had my interest piqued and I absolutely needed to know how this story ended!
Romantic suspense stories are a fairly new genre to me but I’ve really been enjoying them. They Know If You’ve Been Bad or Good had ALL the spice you could ever want but also some serious emotional depth and, of course, some holiday cheer. This book definitely will not be the last one in this genre that I pick up!
Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
