Publisher's summary

A girl with unique power over luck. A desperate man driven by envy. A mind-bending story of betrayal and fate!

Ten-year-old Nem has just witnessed her mother's brutal murder and her life appears destined for tragedy. Until, that is, she finds her mother‘s old green journal which holds an incredible secret.

This innocent looking book seems to contain the power over luck. As she uses it, Nem discovers the diary keeps a strange kind of karmic balance, that in gifting someone good fortune she must steal another's first. All it takes is a simple entry. There's dangers though, and not just for others but also for Nem.

Decades later, the literary world hails William Barnes’ debut novel as a masterpiece. For some inexplicable reason though, his best seller success doesn’t survive his next two books. What frustrates and infuriates William even more, is that while he loses everything his undeserving protégé Orelia Mason is enjoying a meteoric rise up the charts. And this triumph of hers coincides suspiciously with his fall from grace.

So, William embarks on a plan, several actually, to take back the life he’s certain she has somehow stolen. If people get hurt along the way, well, tough luck for them. What he'll discover though is that battling fate when luck is not on your side can be a dangerous game.

This is A Star is Born meets The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the consequences are not pretty. In fact, they’re darn well ugly.

From Susan May, the international best-selling author fans are calling the new Stephen King, comes a dark and twisted tale of jealousy, revenge, and an extraordinary, unique power.

You won't know who to hate and who to cheer on, and the ending will surprise, maybe even shock you.

Thoroughly enjoyed

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There is a great combination of suspense, mystery, and some scary spots. The narrator does a good job of narrating.

Susan May nailed it!

I had never read one of Susan Mays books before, but rest assured I will be reading everything she writes. This was a very interesting premise and I wasn’t sure where it would take me. But if you want to be entertained and keep on the edge of your seat, this is the story for you. Very well done.

Great Read!

This book was a great surprise! Great Characters and I loved having each chapter in the first person of the two main characters. Wondering where they were going to intertwine. So many twists and turns. I lave mysteries and thrillers and this was both!

Captivating

Great read. Hard to put this down. I ended up getting it on Kindle also so I could finish it instead of waiting to listen on my commute . The characters are realistic and it’s full of mystery and twists.
