Jennifer Hillier can do no wrong! She is an auto-buy author for me so I think I actually screamed when I got approved for this ARC.
Paris' Peralta has a lot of secrets, and being charged with the murder of her famous husband and thrust into the spotlight is not ideal. Her past starts catching up with her, both the good and bad parts. As the saying goes, whats done in the dark, will always come to the light.
I was not sucked into this book like I thought I would be, but I think it had more to do with me than it did the book. I did figure out the twist pretty early on so there was no surprises for me but it was still very well written and interesting. I loved all the backstory we got on Paris.. even though it wasn't a happy one. I really liked all the different perspectives as well.
This isn't my favourite JH book by any means, but it was good!
Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press/Minotaur books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

If I could give 1/2 stars this one would be 3 1/2 . Just a touch above average. I found the story to be a little predictable. It kept my attention and there was nothing wrong with it - just not the homerun book for me.
