A twisty and suspense-filled ride that will leave you guessing what everyone's role in the plot is. I enjoyed this book, the last 100 pages I couldn't put it down and binge-read it!

I rated it 4 stars because of how the middle seemed to drag, but it was only for a couple of chapters. Otherwise, I was surprised at the plot twists in the book and thoroughly enjoyed that the plot reveals were not at all what I had been guessing before.

A chance encounter between two women, one proposing they help each other out and off each other's husband. Women should help each other out, right?

SpoilerTasha and Madison are both women driven to do whatever it takes to live their own lives. Each feels that their husbands have hampered their ability to live how they want. However, where Madison is cunning, ruthless, and selfish, Tasha is trying to save her son as much as herself.

"Don't back me into a corner Madison. You won't like me when you do"

Tasha's character development over the book is amazing. This was probably my favorite development from a character in a book. She realizes just how strong she is and how she really can stand on her own two feet


If anyone is looking for a thriller/suspenseful book to read that isn't too long then this is the book for them. This book could also help get you out of a slump because of how the story is so well written.

I enjoyed this one. I will say most of the characters annoyed me at some point, but not to the point of frustration. I wasn’t really sure how things were going to go and that’s a good thing, when reading a thriller. The ending was interesting and worked well for the plot.

*Their was some sexual content. It wasn’t overly descriptive and most of it was pretty much fade to black. Their was one scene, early in the book, that was only about half a page, that kind of fell somewhere in the middle. Not too much, but enough to know what was going down. I personally think it could’ve been left out, but it didn’t ruin the reading experience.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing the entire time (and no I didn't guess who did what by the end of it). I do think around the 80% mark it started to drag just a bit and just when I was about to put it down for a little while, several plot twists happened and I knew I needed to finish this book immediately. I will also say that with so many plot twists after the 85% mark of the book did an amazing job of tying them all up while not just giving the information to readers. This was an amazing read and now I'm waiting on my local library to order her newest book!
