I've just read this today and it's not out until May but it's another corker from Jo Spain so I wanted to make a note of that. THAT and the fact that the opening chapter is one of the most shocking and OMG what just happened chapters that I have ever read.

Twisty and back stabbing is not the word for the world in which these characters live. It's very twisty and the two time lines work very well. Erin is a brilliant character - her confusion and 'in the dark' moments make this a wild reading experience. I didn't know where this was going at all or where this was going to end. It was even more twistier by the end than I had imagined.

Set in and around Long Island, there are some great places where the characters live, meet up and hide....the playground of the rich and famous....it's a view, a roam around the island that will show you the shadows and darkness where these people live, what wealth and privilege really mean and what being an outsider of any kind really means.

At the end of each chapter you’re left wondering what happens next. Lots of plot twists! 
However, slightly slow to get in to
