This was a fun, fast paced, and addictive thriller. It was a great mix of political intrigue, love story, obsession, and madness. ⁣ ⁣ The multiple POVs were great but I found the main characters to be very immature, impulsive, and acting like love sick teenagers instead of grown up professionals. I felt irritated by their personalities and their behaviors but I could not stop reading. ⁣ ⁣

If you are a fan of psychological thrillers, then this is it! The backdrop of a brutal sickening crime but with a satisfying end. It’s an absolute page turner which will keep you hooked. The story is raw and fresh and characters are really well-developed. Enjoyed it!

The intrigue for me began as soon as the title captured my attention. There are twists and turns, junctions, and detours, and choices are made at each. Right or wrong? I loved the suspense, the unexpected, and the choices I wouldn’t even think of, and together, they made for a page-turning thrill ride from cover to cover. It’s a powerhouse of a stand-alone, but I’m excited by the possibilities that will come as this novel begins a new series.

This gripping psychological thriller dives deep into Cleo’s tumultuous life, revealing the aftermath of a single, life-altering mistake. With well-developed characters and a plot full of unexpected twists, the story keeps you hooked from start to finish. The complex web of lies and deceit makes for an engaging read, perfect for fans of suspenseful, thought-provoking novels.

I was intrigued and anticipating what would happen next. I was on the edge of my seat and I truly wasn’t sure what I wanted to happen next. It kept me on edge and invested and the plot moved quickly. I think anyone who loves the twisty, slightly chaotic, borderline (or beyond the line) mental illness/obsession genre will love this book.

This book was about a lot of people behaving very badly without a thought for anyone else but themselves. Throw in a dose of delusional, psychotic metal craziness and you have a perfect receipt for a great thriller. This book keeps you turning pages just to watch all the characters spiral out of control. There is a feeling of real-world intrigue and a couple of political figures whose depravity and crookedness are spot on and know no bounds. The story built the suspense well with a main character you really like to dislike. I kept wanting to see what Cloe would do next. The ending was a shocker because they all came out smelling like roses. I think this was the only time I was not happy to see the MFC get her HEA, but that is what made this book so good. I did take away one star because there was no character who was good, and I wanted at least one decent person to root for within all the badness. Well done!

Those books that you can’t put down, even though it’s a stressful scene, even though you know something is about to happen. This is one of those books. I enjoyed the Kinsman and was very happy when the author asked if I was interested in reading this book. One event changes everything for Cleo and Harris. One event sets them each on a path that will forever alter everything. Obsession, lies, deceit, love and infatuation are all present in this book and I could not put it down. While the ending wrapped up the immediate questions I had the teaser of the next book has me asking more. This novel is dark and twisty and definitely gives Fatal Attraction vibes. Holly writes in such a way that you can’t help but keep going to see what secret, what twist is coming next. I am looking forward to reading Holly’s next book.

Read this psychological thriller in three nights. The story opened brutally with a sickening crime. I wanted to stop reading, but was already hooked. Good character development, especially the pathology of Cleo and of Harris’s father. Lots of twists and turns, but clues are dropped in all the right places. Enjoyed this story and it’s ending, but it left me longing for justice for the original victim.
