There were so many characters none of which were very interesting. The story took so long to get going. I never really wanted to pick the book up.
4.5 rounded up! Didn’t get through it in one sitting but couldn’t stop once I hit about halfway
This is a fast paced suspenseful thriller about a snooping maid who discovered a secret. Story told in multiple POVs & in both past and present tense. Filled with twists, and the end was satisfying.

Throughout this story I kept thinking, this seems really unnecessarily complicated, something crucial is missing. Many of the characters are seemingly connected yet nothing terribly obvious actually connects them. They don’t know each other at all, as far as the reader is concerned.
Eventually the shoe drops and we find out that three different characters are actually one person, our FMC Kit: the would be mistress to the secondary MC. The “pregnant” new friends to the secondary FC. The maid to the couple’s shared home (who only comes by when they aren’t home, of course). Oh, and let’s not forget, the MC and others actually gang raped her when she was only 16! AND, furthermore, the wife has a video of this act. But of course this was nearly 20 years ago and Kit was a little heavier back then, so how could they possibly recognize her?

Really well written and thought out, but I didn’t ever feel like picking the book back up… this was my second attempt and I had to buy the audiobook because reading it felt like a chore. I didn’t like any of the characters, I wasn’t interested in their story, it just wasn’t for me. I’m giving it three stars because there wasn’t anything wrong with it, no annoying troupes, no easy twists… I felt like the author wrote a really great book, it just wasn’t for me.
Fast paced & different but there’s something missing. Can’t tell if it’s a plot hole as the story was far fetched or maybe the writing style (it was basic) but will edit this if I can put my finger on it.
