Oh my! What a weirdly twisted book… The alleys were dark and felt psychotic. The mind was a fragile thing, once broken remained broken. What the heart wanted, it wanted by any means… Or death would be the end!!
Beware of the twisted plot this book coursed through. Claire and Angus were engaged, they bought a new house from Mark, Mark resembled her ex, so Claire had an affair with him and soon was embroiled in his nefarious deeds.
My first book by Sarah Mitchell, and my eyebrows touched my hairline as I read down its pages, eyes widened with expletives being showered over my poor kindle. One chapter in the middle of the book hitched my breath hitch and made me go Wowza. The rest were weird, logic less, and certainly not so intelligent. Claire really took some poor decisions, she was unlikable and kinda obsessed about the ex. Not that the others were any better. The men were badly characterized.
The writing though disjointed and rough had its own darkness which compelled me to read on. The book was a slow burn as most turn out to be, the ending was rushed and didn’t make much sense too. Or maybe I wasn’t too interested.
The book kept me company during my flu, filling my brain with niggles, hence enjoyable. One sometimes needs to bitch about a book to feel alive. Whew, my review is done!!
I received an ARC from NetGalley and publisher Bookouture, and this is my journey into its pages, straight from the heart!!

I have kind of given up on three star books. Glad though that this book helped you through the awfulness of the flu.
Oh the flu is kicking my nethers..😂 😂 But I was quite shocked with this book.. Most have liked this book so I may be the odd one out..
This seems like a great read at some parts! Awesome review! Hope you feel better now Shalini 🙂
Some parts were great.. Most were incredulous. I have shifted to cozy reads for some time ❤️
Your eyebrows touched your hairline, Shalini? 😂 LOVED your review. 💕

Hahaha.. Well it kind of tried to crawl… Hehehe thank you Laurie… The flu is kicking my butt😣
I’m hoping you’re feeling much better now, Shalini. I’m so sorry you’ve been sick with the flu. 😔
We are doing some renovating and I’ve been so busy with it that I haven’t had time to get much reading done. Please let me know how you’re doing. 💕

Yikes! Sounds like you had a great deal of patience with this one. Not sure I could have hung in there. You are still fighting the flu? Yuck!
Still coughing… 😣But better on some days.. Weird kind of flu going on…
Hence I am switching to cozy books ❤️
Nope not my cup of tea. Good review Shalini, thanks for the heads up!
Thanks Jody… What are you reading now
Mark resembled her ex, so Claire had an affair with him …. As one would in these situations. 😆
The end has a new employee joining the office who looked like her ex… 😂 😂 And her mind wants him 😂😂ooops Spoiler alert!!
Oh dear. Lol. Someone still has the hots for the ex!
Killing hots!! 😂 😂
Ouch! Lol
I know exactly the feeling you described – it could have been better but the hooks were already in and you can’t put it down!
Exactly… Hush but I was too ill to even think to change books… I just kept reading and coughing 😂 😂
Claire was certainly QUITE a character!!! This one was definitely a wowza read!!!
Hahaha yes.. And her obsession
I love your review Shalini. It sounds like a bizarre book. I also appreciate expletives when they are needed and hate them when they are thrown in for shock value. What a waste of good words! I hope you’re feeling better!
True that… I use expletives frequently but trying to curtail them 🙈🙈😂
Sorry to hear that you’ve been feeling unwell.How are you now?,Also sorry that this book didn’t really workout for you.I enjoyed reading your review though 🙂
Aww thank you Diana… I am. Better now.. Just the flu kicked my butt… So the weakness and slow reading is pretty much still present
