Homicidal Innocence by V.J. Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
THIS . WAS. FRIGHTFULLY. BRILLIANT !
When I started this read thought to myself I better buckle up because this is going to be a ride of note …then it calms down and takes a romantic turn if you like and bam the rollercoaster ride starts and boy do you need to buckle up !!!!
Cole is a strange character but give the man a chance at first I thought he was a bit of a douche and horn dog because he’s only got one thing on his mind and he’s got a dirty mouth but there’s another side to home , a gentle caring side which comes out when he takes care of Maya when she’s most vulnerable , being a fop investigating the case it puts him in quite the predicament and I’m grateful for his protective instincts because Maya is in serious trouble and she doesn’t really know it at the time so much so that I just want to climb into the book and warn her 🙈also Cole’s job is on the line when it comes to light that he’s involved with Maya
Maya is different to the other nannies , she’s real , genuine and honest and she really cares for her charge , little Benji (he’s really cute)and when they meet their demise heart heartbreak is very real and my heart went out to her , not only for her heartache but for the unfair judgment that came with it ….as it is the other nannies are always mean and unkind to her and that just makes sooooo mad
John , our single daddy rearing and home schooling his children ,also notices her and he’s a yummy daddy that everyone wants but can’t have and he hit his fingers badly burnt before with a deceitful Delilah of a nanny he’s got an artistic talent that makes him even more alluring , but his daughter freaks me out with her glares 🤣🙈but she’s not a bad kid , she’s just protective and it would seem his whole family has a thing for Maya and quite honestly it’s quite frightful
Our killer really is one sick puppy and when I tell you he makes Jeffrey dahmer’s antics look like Childs play I’m not kidding and he’s definitely someone I’d want to cross paths with ! Just remember this is a really twisted story ….
The characters all have some darkness and hurt they carry Cole really had a rough and sickening childhood though as did Maya and when they share their stories my heart broke for them ,they try to build walls around themselves but the killer sees everything and he’s really clever , did I mention stalkerish and creepy 🙈
I actually left the stair light on while and after reading this! I’ll also be avoiding Diamond Valley like the plague 🤣🙈and the likes of Emma (Cole’s partner )and the mean nannies😵💫people are so vindictive
It was just terrifying , sick , psychotic and brilliant !
It had me on the edge of my seat and I think my family was rather entertained watching me read this 🙈 and Maya had her hands full with these men wanting het curvaceous bod and good heart 😉
Expect the unexpected….
