"This is such a smoothly written thriller with plenty of scandal and mystery, and I find it extremely easy to jump right into Torre’s world and enjoy the ride. I guessed some of the surprises, while a few others (one HUGE one in particular) never even crossed my mind. That huge one took me a little time to get used to, and I’ll be very curious to see what other readers think. 

Regardless, I couldn’t help but to fly through the pages to find out what would happen next, and really didn’t want the story to come to an end" -- from another Goodreads review

I listened to this book in one day, it was addicting and I couldn't stop listening. The biggest twist of them all I did not see coming, and the other smaller twists were equally as surprising sort of. The story got a bit draggy at the end, but overall, it was a fun and intriguing ride! AR Torre is definitely one of my new favorite authors!
