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

Predictable but Not????

I didn't love this book, but I didn't hate it either. There was a plot twist which was interesting, but than it got a little ridiculous 🙄 If you're looking for a happy ending, this is not the one. I would suggest this if you want to read about some twisted shadyness.

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.

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.

I loved it!

This book's pace never slows down. I listen while on my daily power walks. This book motivated me on days I didn't really want to walk.
