Well this book was a wild ride. I have never cussed so much while reading a book. The amount of times I said WTF was astounding. I do recommend this book as a thriller. None of the main characters were all that likeable, except Enzo, but it made a pretty good story and I couldn’t put it down. The twist was a slow burn, which was cool. I read 110 pages in one day and almost 100 on another day, that is rare for me as a slow reader. Pick this one up.

Damn! This book hooked me. It was written in a way where I craved for more. Highly addictive to say the least. I couldn't stop reading. This is my third book from Freida and I thoroughly enjoyed this one more than the other two. Nina and Millie were both smart women who fell for the wrong guy. Good thing Enzo helped out. I thought he was undercover or something. Lol. God. It turned so dark, I had chills. Men like Andrew disgusted me. Who does that? Oh, one thing I wasn't crazy about was the police turned out to be Andy's ex's father. It was a bit too coincidental. But oh well, because of him, the women were free. Dear Cece will never be punished by a monster. The abuse stopped when he died and he turned that way because of Evelyn, his mother. And Millie's mission to help more women continues to the next book. I can't wait to read more. Thank you, Doc. (I heard in a book group on Fb that she's a doctor)✨

Very well done and enthralling, but I had some trouble reading this book. Warning for those who have been through abusive relationships and/or been subjected to gaslight games. None of these characters are likeable except maybe Enzo... But it works.
