A one-night stand spirals into a web of dark secrets in James Patterson's steamy thriller of love, lust, and murder.
Lauren Stillwell is not your average damsel in distress. When the NYPD cop discovers her husband leaving a hotel with another woman, she decides to beat him at his own game. But her revenge goes dangerously awry, and she finds her world spiraling into a hell that becomes more terrifying by the hour.
In a further twist of fate, Lauren must take on a job that threatens everything she stands for. Now, she's paralyzed by a deadly secret that could tear her life apart. With her job and marriage on the line, Lauren's desire for retribution becomes a lethal inferno as she fights to save her livelihood-and her life.
Patterson takes us on a twisting roller-coaster ride of thrills in his most gripping novel yet. This story of love, lust and dangerous secrets will have readers' hearts pounding to the very last page.

    I couldn't put this book down. It's an amazing book and I don't really read. Highly recommend it. Just read it for yourself. 🙌

    I read this book based on a recommendation of a co-worker. Even though I enjoyed the very easy reading (you don't have to think at all that's how basic the story line is), it for sure wasn't my favorite book. Haven't read a lot of James Patterson books yet and this one won't necessarily convince me to do so. 2.5 stars...
  • Kinda boring

    Couldn't put it down. Just when I thought the story was coming to an end, there was a new twist. Highly recommend!

    What a ridiculous book. Starting with the first chapter you realize how unrealistic the story is. It only gets worse from there. I quit reading James Patterson books over a decade ago. I now remember why. There are so many gifted writers out there that it really irritates me that something this bad even gets published. Especially with all of the e-readers. Publishers don't need to worry about how many first editions get printed. Save your money and time. Also, let all of us agree to start writing reviews so that we know what we are reading,

    From start to finish this book had my whole attention. I'd get to the end of a chapter only to swan dive into the next instantly.
  • Disappointing

    I am a big James Patterson fan but I thought this was one of the worst books of his I've read. like another reviewer said, many parts were over the top and had me saying "oh come on" - but it was action packed and the plot was not predictable.
