About this listen

From the USA Today best-selling author of Little Deadly Secrets comes a gripping story about the frailty of family and a battle of wills between a wife and a sister-in-law, bent on revenge.

She stole my husband. So I’d steal her life.

The wife

Lane won Candace’s heart over chocolate martinis and karaoke. But weeks into their whirlwind marriage, Candace realized Lane came with burdensome baggage in the form of his possessive live-in sister and her eerily watchful six-year-old son. Lane had a secret that seemed to hold him hostage, and Candace would do anything to uncover it.

The sister-in-law

Harper was the kind of woman who cooked homemade meals and dusted under the furniture. It was the least she could do for her brother after her husband’s mysterious death, and Lane took her and her kids in. Then Candace showed up like a tornado passing through, threatening and destructive. But Harper had other plans for her new “sister”, plans Lane could never find out about.

The husband

All Lane had ever wanted was a white-picket-fence life. The wife. The two-point-five kids. The happy little family. Everything seemed to be falling into place with Candace...until Harper’s jealous streak got in the way, again. But choosing between his sister and wife would be costly...and knowing Harper, the price would be blood.

Juicy thriller to love

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. What a great one! I loved this completely fast paced book that had me guessing from the start. The characters I thought were “shady” surprised me. And the end…well that really, really shocked me. I didn’t see that ending coming! Yay to Pamela Crane for writing such a juicy thriller that I got to enjoy! Narrators were pretty awesome, too!!!

Compelling listen!

Well, what started out a with a flurry ended the same way. I wasn’t sure who to like or who to trust throughout this entire storyline. It’s a true Pamela Crane fashion to keep me guessing who did, why, how, etc. This is a story full of secrets and lies. It was a story I struggled with finding the truth behind it all. It’s a love triangle you won’t see coming! Twisted and entertaining… this is a must listen and can’t stop!

The narration by Melissa Moran, Jonathon Todd Ross, and Nicol Zanzarella gave us a fabulous telling of this thrilling story. I’ve always enjoyed Moran’s narrations even if she can sound a bit even-toned throughout. Ross was a great way to break up the female narrators and add some much-needed male testosterone to the story. Zanzarella was my favorite of the narrators. She added a bit of mystery to her narration and it felt compelling.

Enjoyable ending

I felt that the bulk of the story had immature characters that were hard to listen to. But the story had a satisfying ending and the narrators were fantastic.

Convoluted Entertainment

This is a weird book. I love multi- narrator books, but Zanzarella makes the others sound so bad. She is just THE BEST, and this character was perfect for her. Moran has a very unique style, but the robotic reading she slips into is almost unbearable.

In terms of the storyline... it’s a mixed bag. I wanted to keep listening, and it was twisted and entertaining, but something about it just doesn’t work. Sorry I don’t have a more definitive review. Go for it, but don’t have high expectations.

Mine candy with a twist

Overall this held my attention and was pretty good. There was a twist at the end that I gave up, expecting on, even though I suspected in the early parts of the book. It was enjoyable, and took me away from every day life for a while.

Ridiculous and laughable

I didn't expect much from this so called "thriller" but it was just so silly. Every "plot twist" was fairly predictable and it seems to be written at a 7th grade level with some sex scenes thrown in. The writing is often over the top and painfully unrealistic. The dialogue was cringe-inducing and just silly. The voice acting was terrible. The women were so melodramatic, over-enunciating to the point that it felt like an SNL skit. The guy was completely bland and yawn-inducing. Definitely asking for my credit back.

Lifetime B movie

I finished this book, barely. The story is dumb and silly and annoying. Then in the end it's all tied up in a neat bow and everyone is just great. The narrators, especially one, over pronounces words in a way that would perhaps be better in a children's book.
