The police think Gwen's involved, but she's terrified. Someone's turning her private grudges into a murder spree, and if Gwen doesn't stop them, her newly rebellious daughter could be next . . .
Review
So when the people on Gwen’s list begin to die in precisely the ways she had imagined, she is understandably terrified. She never really intended any of them to come to harm, and certainly never expected (or wanted!) them to die. What starts off seeming like a series of coincidences soon becomes much more sinister.
I was intrigued by the mystery of who could possibly be behind the deaths. At first, it really does seem as though the deaths are just unfortunate coincidences, but as more and more people from Gwen’s list turn up dead, it becomes increasingly difficult to believe that there isn't something much more deliberate going on.
I have to admit that I struggled with Gwen as a character. I didn't particularly like her, and at times I found it difficult to connect with her, which made the book a little harder to get into. However, I persevered and I'm glad I did because the story became more and more intriguing as it progressed.
And then came the twist! The ending completely caught me by surprise, and I definitely didn't see it coming.
Overall, although I had some reservations about the main character and found parts of the book a little difficult to get through, the mystery kept me reading and the unexpected and gripping ending made it worthwhile.
