Publisher's summary

The best-selling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish returns with a psychological thriller, filled with chilling serpentine twists, about a woman fighting to hold onto the only family she's ever loved - and how far she'll go to preserve it.

Named one of the most anticipated thrillers of the year by Goodreads, Bustle, SheReads, and Library Journal

Breezing into the tony seaside paradise of Westport, Connecticut, gorgeous 30-something Piper Reynard sets down roots, opening a rehab and wellness space and joining a local yacht club. When she meets Leo Drakos, a handsome, successful lawyer, the wedding ring on his finger is the only thing she doesn’t like about him. Yet as Piper well knows, no marriage is permanent.

Meanwhile, Joanna has been waiting patiently for Leo, the charismatic man she fell in love with all those years ago, to re-emerge from the severe depression that has engulfed him. Though she’s thankful when Leo returns to his charming, energetic self, paying attention again to Evie and Stelli, the children they both love beyond measure, Joanna is shocked to discover that it’s not her loving support that’s sparked his renewed happiness - it’s something else. Piper. Leo has fallen head over heels for the flaky, New Age-y newcomer, and unrepentant and resolute, he's more than willing to leave Joanna behind, along with everything they’ve built. Of course, he assures her, she can still see the children.

Joanna is devastated - and determined to find something, anything, to use against this woman who has stolen her life and her true love. As she digs deeper into Piper’s past, Joanna begins to unearth disturbing secrets...but when she confides to her therapist that she fears for the lives of her ex-husband and children, her concerns are dismissed as paranoia. Can she find the proof she needs in time to save them?

great story

I absolutely loved this story! The character development was great, the story flowed really well and packed a lot of plot into a short time. The ending pisses me off but still a fabulous book.

wife stalket

Great story, it keeps u changing your opinions on the people, offers u clues to figure out some people and then a surprise ending u do not expect!

Plot twist!

I was so caught off guard with the plot twist in this book. Wonderful narration

Stick with it

I don’t usually write reviews but I felt compelled with this one. I love this author so I was excited to listen to another one of her books. I was disappointed though as I listened because there were so many things that I felt stretched reality. They just didn’t seem plausible. It almost annoyed me enough to stop listening. However in the last hour of the book it ALL cake together and made sense. Impressive. Pretty good read.

Great Weekend Read

Some great protagonists and antagonists. Lord of twists and turns as well as some crazy surprises. Not everyone is as they seem! With the read. Enjoyed the audio. Both Meghan & Julia were fabulous!

meh

if it's free, listen. otherwise don't waste a credit. the characters are infuriating and unbelievable. the ending feels extremely rushed and is a bit "too out there". the narrator was good imo.

Surprisingly good

As I was listening to the book I thought I had it figured out and was ready to be disappointed because, like so many other books, it was so predictable, but I gotta say, I was actually surprised. The narration was good and the twist at the end made it worth the credit.

Great Twist!

Now I want to read it again; listening for the subtle truths that weren’t easily detected from the start!

Good Book

Interesting with an intriguing twist. I felt there was one issue left unaddressed at the end but overall really enjoyed it.

WOW!

Wow! That’s all I could say. What a turn of events. Truly a great story. I was hooked until the end. I will not say anymore so I don’t give anything way.
