Publisher's summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Shanora Williams comes a tale of revenge served ice cold - and a warning to be careful what you scheme for....

A brutal tragedy ended Ivy Hill’s happy family and childhood. Now in her 20s and severely troubled, she barely has a life - or much to live for. Until the day she discovers the name of the woman who destroyed her world: Lola Maxwell - the mega-wealthy socialite with a heart, Miami’s beloved “first lady” of charity. Accomplished, gorgeous, and oh-so-caring, Lola has the best of everything - and doesn’t deserve any of it. So it’s only right that Ivy take it all away....

Little by little, Ivy infiltrates Lola’s elite circle, becomes her new best friend - and plays Lola’s envious acquaintances and hangers-on against her. But seducing Lola’s handsome, devoted surgeon husband turns into a passionate dream Ivy suddenly can’t control. And soon, an insidious someone will twist Ivy’s revenge into a nightmare of deception, secrets, and betrayal that Ivy may not wake up from....

Predictable and terrible ending

Not very “thrilling” or surprising. The end was a disappointment and left the reader frustrated

why the ending?

It took a while to get into the story. I liked the plot but it dragged in some parts for me. I also wasn't expecting the ending and was disappointed.

The Last Third Brought Me Back!

Just when I was getting sick of the protagonists naivety and obsession the writer brought in a new take and more background. As much as this character drove me nuts. I was really invested in the story and what nonsense she would do next! I would recommend if you like mysteries and thrillers and are also looking for a story with more diverse characters.

A twisted pleasure

I really didn't see that coming. And I didn't see the other thing coming. I'm still wondering about certain characters. Definitely kept me turning page after page from start to finish.

Unexpected ending!

This story was actually pretty good. There was an unexpected turn towards the end. It kept me interested and waiting for “ruin” to happen. I didn’t like how it ended though. The narrator was ok.

Very good

This was the first book I read by this author, and I definitely will be coming back for more. The twist and turns were very good. I love the Lifetime feel of the story..
