Blair Mallory, last seen in To Die For, has already survived one murder attempt. Now, while planning her wedding and dealing with holiday-season madness, Blair once again dodges a bullet. Or, more precisely, a Buick. And though the driver's identity remains a mystery, his or her murderous intentions are all too clear.

Story
Tory Bodeen grew up in a run-down house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt - and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away, and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn’t allowed to be at home: a child. Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart.

I kept hoping H would develop some human qualities but that didn’t happen and despite all H did to her, stupid h had not an ounce of respect for herself. Wish I could get the time back I wasted listening to this duet.

Hateful, narcissistic male
Reviewed: 01-27-24
There was nothing I liked, I kept hoping he was going to show some human qualities but it didn’t happen. I like a good mafia romance but there was no romance to this. Wish I had counted the number of times he told h she was his “property”. I decided to give it a try and see if second book would have some decent development but it didn’t. To anyone reading this review - you’ve been warned.

This was my first listen to this author and I don’t care for the way the stories keep jumping back and forth in time. The story or plot just did not flow very well imo.
