This book was not it y’all. The first half was so incredibly slow and boring. The death that’s mentioned in the synopsis doesn’t even happen until halfway through the book. The MC is being framed for murder but she obviously didn’t do it. The last 50-60 pages of the book were the most interesting, fast paced part and the reveal of who the actual murderer was did surprise me a bit, but it wasn’t enough to make up for the rest of the book.
Severely unlikable characters, truly I didn’t care anything for any of these characters. Excessive drinking for no reason, drugging of characters that was never fully explained, completely unnecessary and persistent sex with high school teenagers. 40 year old women having sex with high school boys is not something that is necessary for a thriller book and not something I’m at all interested in reading about.
I most likely would have stopped reading this one if it wasn’t for a Bookclub that I want to attend the meeting. The ending did end up being mostly interesting, but overall this book was a big no for me.

This book was a wild ride! I wanted to hate it, but I just couldn't stop reading it. It was so messed up with the adult/minor relationships, cheating, and drugs. Yet, I couldn't get enough. The Hunting Wives are a group of conniving bitches and I could understand the allure of getting in with these rich women, but Sophie also took it to a whole other level with it as well.
If you love a crazy dramatic thriller then definitely pick this up, it's disgusting, crazy, and THRILLING!
