"Lauren Stillwell is not your average damsel in distress. When the NYPD cop discovers her husband leaving a hotel with another woman, she decides to beat him at his own game. But her revenge goes dangerously awry, and she finds her world spiraling into a hell that becomes more terrifying by the hour.
In a further twist of fate, Lauren must take on a job that threatens everything she stands for. Now, she's paralyzed by a deadly secret that could tear her life apart. With her job and marriage on the line, Lauren's desire for retribution becomes a lethal inferno as she fights to save her livelihood--and her life." (From Amazon)
Three hours of my reading life I won't ever get back.

This, being my first Patterson book, was a fast read. Plenty of twists and kept me entertained. I only wish it hadn’t felt like so much of a stretch and had ended with more finality.

This book was definitely a page-turner. I didn't want to put it down. Every time it seemed close to being resolved there was a new twist to the story.

Ok so this book started off pretty decently and I thought I was in for a good page turner...that turned sour very quickly and it became completely unbelievable. Ugh.

Wow...just wow! This book was amazing. There were so many little things that happened that were so surprising. And the end of the book...completely unexpected and totally took me by surprise. I saw none of it coming. I absolutely want to read this book again, it was fantastic.
