Amber Patterson is tired of being a nobody: an invisible woman who melts into the background. She deserves more. She deserves a life of wealth, luxury and leisure.
Daphne Parrish is the golden girl of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut. With her model looks, her picture-perfect mansion and her millionaire husband, Jackson, she has everything Amber wants.
Amber’s envy could eat her alive—if she didn't have a plan. Before long, she has become Daphne’s closest friend, and is catching the eye of Jackson. But a skeleton from her past could destroy everything, and if discovered, Amber’s well-laid plan may end in disaster…
Review
This book had slipped down my TBR list - the thing with a kindle it isn't the same as having a pile of books and knowing you need to read them - as you add books others just slide off your radar. I just wish I hadn't taken so long to get around to reading this book as it was absolutely gripping.
The book does have quite a bit of scene setting at the beginning and I was starting to wonder why it was billed as a physiological thriller. Well just wait until you get to the second half of the book - that's when it really all kicks off and the white knuckle ride begins. This really is a case of a book of two halves.
The premise of the book seems simple enough and is laid out in the blurb, Amber is out to become the next Mrs Parrish and has a plan to make sure it happens. Whether or not she does I will leave you to find out, but don't rule out this book as a cut and dried plot. So many twists and turns - I just loved it.
I'm giving this book four out of five stars because of some niggles. I didn't realise until I finished the book and read the credits that the book is written by two sister authors, their names combined into Liv. On the whole I never noticed anything too glaring whilst reading, but now wonder if there was at least one continuity error because of this.
My thanks to netgalley and harpercollins for my copy to review.
