Fatal Deception & Fatal Mistake

The blend of emotional intimacy and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. I wonder if the author planned this duality from the start or if it evolved during writing.

While I loved the tension, I found myself wishing for more moments of tenderness. Is that balance something the author aimed for intentionally?

The pacing and plot twists felt so natural within the love story—I'm curious whether the mystery aspect shaped the character development or vice versa.
