Shades of Her

The mix of thriller elements and smut made for a provocative read, but I wonder what inspired that bold combination. Was it planned from the start or did it evolve during writing?

The suspense built up nicely, but I found myself wishing for more momentum in the middle sections. Was that intentional to deepen the characters' complexity?

Her backstory felt layered and compelling, but I’m curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or crafted it purely from imagination.
