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....

how the story ended

very pleasant read & descriptive detail. The narrators tone of characters is very intriguing. a must read

Great Thriller

Kept me on the edge. Definitely worth the read. Narration was great. Loved every minute of it. Lots of curb balls.

The PLOTTTTT!!

This book kept me on the edge of my seat! Kept me intrigued with each chapter! What a ride! What a build up! What a plot!

It really was perfect!

It really was perfect...The plot twist! Lola deserved everything she got. When I say she was a puppet baby. The plan was perfect. This was a good story I wish things went differently for Ivy because of course I was rooting for her. Good read.

Narration was fantastic, the story was OK

First the narration; Our narrators, more specifically the main one for the bulk of the story, did a wonderful job. She was emotive in a way that perfectly suited the story. There was a point where it gets hard to listen to because of how negative our main character was and the narrator just read her so well you feel immersed in her hatred. Incredible job!

Second, the story. The buildup was so good, I actually really enjoyed the bulk of the story. The ending though, was truly unsatisfying for me. It had me right up until the end and I saw there was no sequel. What?
