5.0

I don’t know why this book is. 3.67 on Goodreads, because it was SO GOOD! The author, Rachel Koller Croft, did a FABULOUS job of painting the characters in the most detailed way. In addition, the twists had my heart nearly leaping out of my chest with beats faster than a bullet train. I thought Rachel wrapped the story up nicely, also. If you’re a fan of the tv show Imposters, YOU MUST read this book!

4.0

The writing in this book was air tight. I felt like the plausibility of circumstances fell a little bit in the last chunk of the book, but crazy, manic women always need deniable plausibility, right?

Definitely a book with morally grey characters, and killer dialogue. 

A favorite line of mine from the book goes, “The afternoon tea was in full swing with canapés and caviar and cunty behavior.” Like so true bestie.

Fans of Gone Girl and other “good for her” media should definitely pick this book up.

 been a while since something like this kept me hooked from start to finish. And after so many romances, Stone Cold Fox was exactly what I was looking for. Rachel Koller Croft’s debut novel started with a banger of a first line, and the multiple games of cat and mouse throughout kept me on the edge of my seat!

I truly hated but was also rooting for Bea at the same time. I wanted her to be better but also loved reading about the mess she was creating!
