I devoured this as an audiobook in one sitting—roughly two hours of sapphic tension, murder, and heat that didn't waste a single minute.
Glass gives us Jodi, a down-on-her-luck poet who's finally caught her break: a publishing contract and her first decent apartment after years of scraping by. The setup feels earned—there's something satisfying about watching a struggling artist finally land somewhere soft. That's where she meets her lover, and the chemistry ignites fast.
But the perfect apartment? It's got secrets. Dark ones. Glass pivots from romantic tension into genuine mystery without losing momentum, and the twist works because she's planted just enough unease from the beginning. The erotica is well-timed and unapologetic, balancing nicely with the creeping dread of realizing something is very, very wrong behind those freshly painted walls.
It's not groundbreaking literary fiction, but it's a tight, atmospheric mystery with queer women at the center, actual heat, and a plot that delivers. Perfect for a late-night listen when you want something dark, sexy, and solved by morning.
Rating: 4/5 stars
