Desert Heat

The harsh, unforgiving desert environment feels like a character itself. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or research to craft this intense backdrop.

The story kept me on edge, but I wonder if the pacing was intentional to mirror the slow burn of desert heat or if it just evolved that way during writing.

The balance between suspense and revelation is tricky — I’d love to know what led to the decision to pace the mystery the way it unfolds.
