Really good! Lots of twists! This would be a great movie!!

Profile Avatar Maree G. Nov 2022

Great book. Kept me listening. Enough twists that stopped it being boring.

Profile Avatar Pamela K. Sep 2023

The story was contrived and unbelievable. Without giving anything away, the character’s decision making was ridiculous.

Profile Avatar Kimberly M. Oct 2023

This reminded me of Verity. I get agro when a character has intuition and feelings about things but never acts on them. I found that frustrating about this book. Still enjoyed it.

Profile Avatar Christy C. Sep 2023

I was hooked. Although, I wanted to shake some sense into the main character but it’s part of the story. As a free VIP pick, I was pleased with the book.

Profile Avatar Kelly J. Jul 2024

freida McFadden books are awesome. this one did not disappoint.

Profile Avatar Lauren E Sep 2023

Gave four stars, but would have given 3.5 if I could’ve. The book was decent, had some good twists and turns. But I could not stand the character Vicki before her accident. It was hard to believe she was that naive.

Profile Avatar Utah19 May 2025

I really enjoyed this book

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2025

Twists, suspense ... could not stop listening.

Profile Avatar Bex Mar 2025

Great book, twists always keeping you guessing.

Profile Avatar Beth O. Mar 2025

I have loved every book of her I have read. This was not my favorite but may have enjoyed it more with a different narrator. She was not fluent in her reading, reminded me of one of my students reading to me in class.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2025

Entertaining. Characters thoughts and actions interesting… just go with the flow!!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2025

The level of co-dependency the protagonists posses is unrealistic and makes the story quite unbelievable. Otherwise great thriller by Ms. Fadden.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2024

Was hooked from the start, a fab listen!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2024

The book stopped playing half way through and I can’t finish it

Profile Avatar NurseAppel Nov 2024

Good book and storyline and good narrator

Profile Avatar Tatiana R. Nov 2024

It wasn’t my favorite Freida McFadden book but it was a good read. There were plot twists and unexpected moments. I enjoyed the book.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2024

The way the narrator narrates Victoria’s voice is almost infuriating. It’s so high pitched and whiny when it’s clear that’s not the cadence and tone the character was written in. I’m usually good with disassociating a bad narrator from the storyline but this was so difficult. Maggie’s narration is similar. And her attempt to narrate Eva is worse. About the only character that’s decent is Sylvia.

Loved it!!

Profile Avatar Julia B. Oct 2024

Page turner. Really enjoyed this book.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2024

I absolutely love the twist and turns in this book!

Profile Avatar Morgan L. Sep 2024

Lots of twists

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2024

It an okay. I sped up the audio to help keep it moving. Characters were frustrating and decision making was annoying. Ending became predictable especially with the foreshadowing hints but enjoyable enough.

Profile Avatar franc Jul 2024

Kept my interest from start to finish!

Profile Avatar Silvia P. May 2024

I did not like the characters. The decision making ability of the two main characters was truly bad. I found myself getting aggravated sometimes lol. The book does keep you hooked even though the end is somewhat predictable. I think it didn’t need to be dragged for so long though. As I said it’s predictable. The end could have been better.

Profile Avatar Kim L. Apr 2024

loved it!!!

Profile Avatar Brittany G. Apr 2024

I loved it! At first I thought it was too close to Verity but there were enough differences.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2024

loved the ending

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2023

Slow start, but narrator made up for that. The twists were amazing, the ending came out of nowhere! Would recommend, 5/5.

Profile Avatar Megan B. Oct 2023

They really thought about every detail and connected all the pieces. And the narrator was amazing and changed their voice to fit the characters beautifully and it helped me stay connected to the story. Definitely worth the listen!

Profile Avatar Jessica N. Oct 2023

Excellent book. Lots of plot twists. Narrator was amazing

Profile Avatar KarenG Oct 2023

Kept my interest. Unsure what to believe until the end.

Profile Avatar Sharon J. Oct 2023

I felt like this book didn’t know what it wanted to be. A mystery? A romance? I was tempted to DNF but I doubled the speed and got’er done. Didn’t regret it, but I guess just not my style.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2023

Certainly an interesting and twisted storyline, making the reader/listener change sides several times. I enjoyed this book very much and also the narration was good.

Profile Avatar Auhod A. Oct 2023

To be honest, Angie Kane was the staaart of this story! I felt so excited and the voice is perfect. Enjoyed it so much and looking forward more audio books by her

Profile Avatar Ger Faughnan Oct 2023

Really good. Loved the twisted ending. Keep with it!

Profile Avatar Sofia R Oct 2023

Good book and plenty of twists and turns to keep it entertaining.

Profile Avatar Mel B. Sep 2023

I enjoyed this book. I was a little unsure if I enjoyed the narrater but I grew to find her quite endearing. Kept me guessing throughout.

Profile Avatar Miss Biggun Sep 2023

Really enjoyed this book to the point of listening to it at home rather than just on my daily commute in the car so I could hear what happened next

Profile Avatar Lois B. Sep 2023

Book is great! I'm now on a second book by author.

Profile Avatar Therese Willaton Sep 2023

Excellent listening!

Profile Avatar Thorn Sep 2023

Indeed, several twists / say no more…. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Profile Avatar Julie F. Sep 2023

You’ll figure it out right away then a left turn and rethink it then a sharp right turn and you rethink that one.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2023

Got this as a VIP extra. I have to say often those books are disappointing but I really enjoyed this one. Great depiction of narcissistic abuse.

Profile Avatar Diane D. Sep 2023

Great read, kept me focused and couldn’t stop listening. Loved it !

Profile Avatar Kim Ellis Sep 2023

It definitely gives me Verity vibes, but I didn't mind the listen...

Profile Avatar hadley prevette Sep 2023

Verity, but actually good. The characters have soo much more demention. You don't leave feeling let down and frustrated. Much more appropriate handling of the subject matter and a real page turner to boot.

Profile Avatar Marchell I. Sep 2023

Very suspenseful , had so many twists.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2023

Fantastic book

Profile Avatar Amy H. Sep 2023

It is good but not as good as her books usually are.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2023

Wasn’t sure I would like this but the reviews were so good thought I would give it a go, really should have gone with my instincts.

Profile Avatar Namarran Sep 2023

This was my first McFadden book. I will look for more from her. Intriguing, good character development, suspenseful and very well narrated.

Profile Avatar danamashley Aug 2023

Wonderful book!! It was a page turner. I could have read this book in a day.

Profile Avatar Tina G. Apr 2023

The twists and turns in the plot. I absolutely loved it!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2023

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2022

Not a bad read, I enjoyed the twists, but kind of anticipated the ending.
