Genre: Mystery/Thriller

Synopsis:

Two women. An office filled with secrets. One terrible crime that can’t be taken back

Dawn Schiff is strange. At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m.

So when Dawn doesn’t show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell—beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running—is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything…

It turns out Dawn wasn’t just an awkward outsider—she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who’s the real victim?<

But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill.

Review:

One thing I know when I pick up one of the authors books is that I’m going to get a story that is pure entertainment and just a blast to read. Her books are the very definition of popcorn thrillers and beg to be read in just a couple of sittings and that’s exactly what I did with this one. Fairly early on I knew where this one was probably going and I was right for the most part. The big twist that happened when it switched to part two was predictable for me but there were some smaller, but still fun twists that I didn’t guess that helped make this a pretty solid read for me. If you’re looking for a juicy book that is addictive this is it, I was definitely never bored despite having aspects figured out and I wanted brain candy when I started it and no one does that better than this author.

Overall rating: 3.5/5

Thanks to the publisher for my review copy.
