This book blew me away ... gripping with a great twist!
The beautiful Bella has a whirlwind romance with Ben ... falling pregnant soon after meeting things move fast however all is not as it seems as Bella is out for revenge.

What unfolds is a great read - a book that I couldn’t put down - the beautiful Bella unfolds to be evil and out for her own gain!
Highly recommend this book

Despite the dark subject matter (revenge, domestic abuse, infidelity, death) this is a thoroughly entertaining book that can be read in a few hours. Told mainly from the point of view of Ben, and then the same events from Bella's perspective, it's a story of a manipulative woman who refuses to go quietly when her lover leaves her.

Ok, it's not particularly memorable, the characters are all one dimensional, and there is no nuance whatsoever. But, the pace is fast and it's escapist fun. Sometimes that's exactly what you want in a book.

My thanks go to the publishers and Net Galley for the advanced copy in return for an honest review.

I enjoyed the story overall and found I needed to continue to read to the end to find out what would become of Ben and his various relationships. Reading the story again from Bella's perspective became a little tedious and if I'm honest the writing could be improved upon on. Overall, a good plot but something was missing for me. The copy of the book I read had obviously been amended and I had none of the problem others have mentioned about only receiving half the book.

I managed to read the whole book as it has now been corrected. It's certainly a bruising story, but I found it very tiring reading the story twice, once in actual happening and once in Bella's words.
Poor Ben, I have never been in an abused position but I can imagine it would diminish anyone....but he did sem to be a bit helpless about getting help for himself. In fact none of the characters seemed to have much backbone, except the ghastly Bella.
It wasnt a book that I enjoyed, a bit repetitive, a bit too dark, but thank you for letting me have a review copy to consider.

I’m sorry to give a negative review, as a previous reviewer said the author has put a lot of time and effort into writing this book. But I just could not like it. It was confusing and the review copy was badly formatting which also added to my disappointment as it was hard to read. I didn’t like this book at all, but thank you for giving m the opportunity to review it honestly.

I was able to read the entire book, but I'm afraid it is still only worth one star. The story is quite a good one, but it is dragged down by one-dimensional, cliched characters, and poor writing. The first few pages give us a kitchen "suffused in a pale pink glow from the setting sun" followed by an "azure swimming pool...twinkling with a thousand dancing diamonds" Not my sort of book.

The star rating is for what I was able to read. This is apparently about half of the book, or less. It's a bit confusing when you're told to flip the book and start reading again as that's not possible on a Kindle... I loved the synopsis but I'm not sure that the chapters I read matched up to my expectations unfortunately.

Utterly confusing! Especially when reading on a kindle. I am actually very confused as to what I was reading and what was meant to happen at the end!

I’m glad I read others’ reviews before persevering with this book - it needs to be checked as it appears to abruptly end, with a direction to turn the book over! - a bit hard on a kindle!
Obviously something’s gone wrong here.

I hate leaving such a negative review, but honestly I'm so confused by this book! It sounds really interesting from the synopsis, but truthly nothing much happens and then it randomly ends, telling you to start reading again. Was this a weird formatting error? Was there supposed to be a second half to this book? If not, I'm afraid I really don't get it.

This is a strange book, ended in an odd place and directed us to turn over and start again. Presumably this was on purpose but I struggle to see what it was trying to say to us as readers. Unfortunately if it had a deeper message it’s gone over my head!

Well this was just plain weird! I agree with the previous reviewer, and wondered if there was an worry in the formatting? If not, this is not a good book.

Ummmm....what the hell is this? The book randomly ends at the end of a chapter with no conclusion to the story and it literally says to start reading it again. I don’t know why? I’m confused and not in the usual thriller confused way.

It took me less than an hour to read and while the synopsis sounds brilliant She has no surprises, no twists or turns. It’s just basic, the plot is basic, the characters are basic and the writing is basic.

Honestly I’m baffled. I don’t know what I’ve read and I’m not impressed. Congratulations She you’ve got my first 0 star review.
