    I received an audio arc from the publisher through NetGalley. Thank you so much to RB Media for that. All opinions are my own.

 
   When two women with secrets and trauma in their pasts get entangled in a series of murders, you can't trust anyone. Also, know one thing, everyone is lying about who they are.
   Plenty of twists and turns, though I think the conclusion without the epilogue would have been better, as I saw that part coming about halfway through the book. Which was a letdown.
   The whole mission to destroy Cass was misplaced and I am glad she finally saw that. 
   
Cass didn't sexually assault her and as with most young adults Cass was so wrapped up in herself she didn't consider he could have, as well as that having been a very different time from today. Not that she shouldn't have spoken up when the lawyer came to her and said that he might have.

    This book tackled A LOT of difficult issues and was quite dark. But overall, it was good.

Narrator Rating: 4 stars
    The narrators did a good job. Though some words were pronounced oddly, and not as I would assume someone from that part of the US would say them.
