narrator

the way she says "been" it sounds like "bean". very odd and caught me off guard every time

Everything you want in a thriller!

Perfect thriller to keep you engaged through all your chores and work outs! Binged it in two days.

My type of story…but

I really didn’t like the protagonist. She was mean and selfish until the end. It was hard to like her. There were good moments but overall it was meh. I would have a hard time imagining a relationship overcoming accusations and betrayal like was told.

Entertaining Story

Story was nicely written & voice acting was great! It had a good ending that tied up the loose ends & showed character growth.

Glad this was free

This grown woman made bad decisions at every occasion up and until the end of the book. I guess this author thinks women are gullible.

Excellent

This story wove both the characters and plot well! It was developed beautifully and had enough twists to keep you engaged. Well done!

Interesting ties with the characters

I wanted to like this more than I did. I felt that part of the storyline was trying to be believable but it wasn’t. Some of the lines were a bit corny and the ending was just ok.

The fact nothing was what it appeared

I can usually pick out who’s who after a few chapters in a book. But this one got me. I really enjoyed the book. Can’t wait to read or listen to more of her books.

surprising tale

I did not expect the storyline so it was unpredictable and intriguing. the main actor had flaws that made her more relatable. read it. you won't regret it

Inconsistent

I wanted to like this book, but the inconsistencies in both the tone and the story details made it hard to even finish it.
