Calvin Harris aka Love Regenerator wrote the lyric Its a strange game, you and me play and it’s one hell of a strange game Ethan has been playing whilst he’s been married to Jodie. He is a proper ‘Dr Jekyll, Mr Hyde‘.

Discovered the extent of Ethan’s lies was like opening up a Russian doll. I thought the secrets couldn’t get any worse and then poof, there’s another one hiding just waiting to shock poor Jodie. But she’s no longer the weak wife he left behind. She’s toughened up, she’s had to…

I really couldn’t see where this story was heading and oh my, that climax. Bejeezus!!! I can’t say anything more than that – I was left reeling after I’d finished the book. After devoured it in one sitting on a Sunday evening, I couldn’t think about anything but what I’d just read. I was just gobsmacked at just how twisted Ava McCarthy’s mind is. If this book is anything to go by, I really need to met Harry Martinez!! I’d recommend this to anyone who enjoys their psychological thriller in an extreme dark and twisted state!

I believe this was a debut when I first got the book ,it's been lost in my ever growing kindle book list and i've finally gotten my act together and started catching up on these books. For a debut i'd say its a very good read. Very well written.
Suspenseful and gritty, thrilling action packed.

Two quick shots. One for him. One for you.

After the death of her three-year-old daughter, Jodie has nothing left to live for – or almost nothing.

She has one task to fulfil before she takes her own life. And that’s to kill the man she holds responsible for her daughter’s death – her seemingly perfect husband, Ethan.

But Ethan is hiding more than just his true nature. And as more horrifying secrets from his past emerge, Jodie’s strength will be pushed to the limit…

If that hasn't got your heart racing I dont know what will...

A little far fetched or over the top in parts, but still really enjoyable.

Well. It's not often that a book by an author I've never read before takes me by surprise, but this book certainly did. I do enjoy being caught off guard and it satisfies my lust for psychological thrillers for a while.... happy days!
