Heartbreaking, thought-provoking, and just incredible!! Kia Abdullah is a mastermind who can add so much depth to her characters, actions, and motivations. The layers of the incident and what led to it will open a chasm of grey areas in your mind, slowly revealed in the fallout. The twists will have you reeling until the ver  end!! Not really a who done it, but wow, what a stellar thriller!! 

This is why I love reading - grab yourself a copy now!!

This was a crazy court room case thriller! It wasn’t a who done it situation but more so if it was intentional. As the case goesss further I found myself pointing fingers at everyone! The twists and turns at the end made my mouth drop! I’m still reeling lol! Really good plot twist!

I don’t like waiting until the last third for all the excitement but that was like whiplash after whiplash after more whiplash! I saw it coming but I didn’t see this.

Well… that’s crazy.

The dynamic between the sisters and even their relationship as a foursome was very interesting. I couldn’t imagine going through that, I couldn’t imagine finding out in hindsight.
