This book was hard to put down. I read it very quickly. The premise was interesting but the characters were not likable. The main character feels much younger than she's supposed to be. I really did not like the ending.

🇳🇱: Dit boek was een ander soort thriller dan verwacht. In het begin vond ik hem erg oppervlakkig. Ik had niet het idee dat ik een thriller las. Later werd dit duidelijker. Het is niet echt een thriller vol gebeurtenissen, maar vooral de vibe is spannend. Je zit de hele tijd te wachten op actie die uitgesteld wordt. Ik had de hele tijd al het idee wat het plot zou zijn, maar het einde had ik zeker niet verwacht.  Voordat je in dit boek begint zou ik wel de trigger warnings lezen, want die kunnen vrij heftig zijn!

🇬🇧: 
    This book was a different kind of thriller than expected. At first I thought he was very superficial. I didn't feel like I was reading a thriller. This became clearer later. It is not really a thriller full of events, but the vibe is especially exciting. You spend the whole time waiting for action to be postponed. I had an idea all along what the plot would be, but I certainly didn't expect the ending. Before you start this book, I would read the trigger warnings, because they can be quite intense!

It is a solid B book. It doesn’t deserve all the hype it gets. I don’t hate it, the plot twist be twisting! It was at least entertaining I guess and that’s all that matters.

I’ve heard a lot of things about this book and I do think it lives up to the hype! I’ve never read anything by Colleen before but you can really tell she’s a romance author from the amount of sex in this book. 

The themes in this are heavy - please do check the content warnings. 

Overall I really enjoyed the structure of the book and the writing was actually super enjoyable. I like how the story kept me guessing - I enjoyed the plot twist too (not my absolute fav but definitely unique). 
Would recommend if you’re looking for a dark and surprisingly sexy thriller about evil wives (and husbands??)

Read the bonus chapter - it left me viewing Jeremy in a completely different light!! Kinda want a sequel now just to see what happens to them in the future.

Same thoughts honestly, but lowen is kind of a freak.


I think I’m team manuscript. 

I enjoyed this! It wasn’t asking creepy as I was expecting(people made it sound so creepy). I was intrigued and wanted to see what was going to happen, but I was honestly mostly in this for the romance honestly. Some parts of this were very hard and disturbing to read. I don’t love the ending it just felt kind of rushed idk. It was enjoyable, but I didn’t find anything shocking tbh.
