Publisher's summary

Is it murder? Is someone playing mind games? Or is it both? The chilling answers are in this twisting novel of psychological suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Trespassing.

The apparent suicide of a beautiful aspiring law student unites two strangers, connected only by their tangled suspicions: that nothing about Margaux Stritch’s tragic end is what it looks like.

Firefighter Jessica Blythe is courageously making her mark in the male-dominated Chicago Fire Department while navigating a complicated relationship with a detective. A first responder to the crime scene, Jessica has a professional duty to Margaux. Then there’s Kirsten Holloway, a wife and mother pulling herself together after an emotional breakdown. But her husband’s infidelity has left her in a place full of mistrust and fear. Her dreaded curiosity about Margaux’s death has become very personal.

Two women are about to converge on a trail of blackmail, secrets, troubled pasts, and hidden shadows, where violence and desire entwine, unchecked. And they’re not the only ones stepping into the dark. Someone else is following. But is it to warn Jessica and Kirsten? Or to usher them into a nightmare?

Great Read

I purchased this book on sale. I’m always looking for new authors. This book was great from beginning to end. Loved the narrator as well.

Wow!

Very interesting listen. A great twisty story of sweet revenge. It was a bit difficult to keep the characters separated as the narrators voice doesn’t change as characters are speaking. But you’ll keep the

Wow. Just wow

Let me just say I have never had to pause a book because I am so upset about the characters .. but then have start right back because it’s SOOO good. I have never caught myself yelling in my car saying YOU GO GIRL! GET HIM! Or literally booing the antagonist. Let’s just say this was good !!!

Predictable

The story was way too long, the ending predictable, the female empowerment twisted and shows the author doesn’t get the concept.
Narrator was great, although at times it was difficult to tell who was who.
I read a lot of police procedural, so you learn a little about the law, this author didn’t do her homework.
There are several inconsistencies and events where you have to suspend credibility.
I wouldn’t recommend it, but it’s intriguing enough once you start it to finish it.

Predictable. Booo…

Fast moving “Soap opera” melodrama with sexual encounters mixed in just for “effect” instead of actually helping the Reader feel like they were experiencing unknown realms. Very blah but yet it kept my attention up until the last 34 minutes when, after the predictable suspect was confirmed, a ‘girl power’ theme kicked in and I could not possibly go .. on.. any… longer…

great premise but too ambitious

so I liked the book and did finish it but there was missed opportunities here(without giving spoilers) I felt like mundane points were focused on instead of the main story line and it just dragged the story out unnecessarily for no reason and caused careless mistakes/overlap. wonderful narrator, she really put effort into the various voices.

Interesting Some Good Twists

Plot and pacing was good for this story. But gaslighting drives me crazy and I don’t think many can write it well. There was a push to not like a character in the beginning which felt forced when towards the middle actions definitely told the real story. Secondary characters were great.

Narration was excellent!!

Not for me

It was interesting at first but I draw the line at sexual abuse. It was just too disturbing for me. I actually had to stop listening pretty quickly so I did not finish the book.
