Publisher Description

Soon to be a major motion picture!
Would you kill a total stranger to save someone you love?

Sugar & Spice is the latest app craze taking the world by storm, but for Abby and Brendan Hollander, downloading it leads to a dangerous game of life and death. When the app assigns them a series of increasingly taboo tasks, they soon find themselves caught up in a twisted web of seduction and violence in this sexually charged dark thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Fourth Monkey—master of suspense, J.D. Barker.

— BookBub

Expressionless Face“I feel like this book dragged on more than it should. If this book was 100 pages shorter it would have been great. But it lacked the feeling of suspense because there was too much things between. The characters of Romeo and Juliet I think are a big portion that didn’t need to be explained. I think leaving them as just mysterious villains would have made the book.”
