About this listen

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....

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

Predictable and terrible ending

First the narration; Our narrators, more specifically the main one for the bulk of the story, did a wonderful job. She was emotive in a way that perfectly suited the story. There was a point where it gets hard to listen to because of how negative our main character was and the narrator just read her so well you feel immersed in her hatred. Incredible job!

Second, the story. The buildup was so good, I actually really enjoyed the bulk of the story. The ending though, was truly unsatisfying for me. It had me right up until the end and I saw there was no sequel. What?

Narration was fantastic, the story was OK

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.

Loved it!

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.
