This was an interesting read. The intrigue was off the hook. 1 thing I did not expect & the other after I was in a couple of chapters - it was so obvious.

This review is from: Trust No One By: Drica Armstrong
4 out of 5 stars : "Trust everyone; just don't trust the devil inside them......,"..... June 5, 2013
This book was extremely interesting. I was like OMG while reading the entire book.
First off, I think Rodney was beyond an arse. I do not care what he vocalized at the end, or what he was feeling; he was just a poor excuse for a man. Who in the hell-o does what he did and thinks everyone should forgive him? What made me even madder was his cavalier attitude about the ENTIRE situation and asking people to just put it behind them. WTH? Are you crazy Rodney. (The question was actually rhetorical) He should have been a man and faced his demons instead of creating more. It seemed like every 10 pages I was screaming, "SHOTS FIRED" because Rodney had a different surprise for Monica. Some surprises I had to go back and read twice because I was like, "Caller you say what?"....I will not even address how many people he involved in his devious plot and the reprecussions they had to face. He was geniunely selfish and only concerned with Rodney. Even his identical twin brother was of no concern to him until his plan started unraveling.
If Lynn is a so-called BFF then I would just rather have enemies. Her mind was beyond twisted and I was flabbergasted at the stunts she pulled. The setup with Kelly was one thing but then when I got to the nitty gritty of everyone's relationship; I was like HELL-O NO! Grimy does not even begin to describe Lynn and I was hoping that she got hers in the end. I get so tired of females who interject themselves in their friend's relationships. Real talk; most females are just looking for a sounding board, not some fake arse Chuck Woolery with her own scandalous intentions. As for Kelly...well she was just a low self-esteem pawn in a game that had no wins for her. However, I would have dialed 9-1-1 on Lynn's arse and got her some stick and jail time. Please believe, you put your hands on me and I will put your arse in handcuffs!
Monica was an emotional wreck with good reason. I am not sure how she did not get committed before Chapter 5 because somebody would have had to lock me up. Rodney's actions were deplorable and to put someone through all those shennanigans is absurd. If he had all these feelings and thoughts; Rodney should have opened his damn mouth instead of letting the situation fester. Did Monica play a part in the entire mess? Absolutely, but she was trapped in Monica's world and no one brought it to her attention. It really ticked me off how everyone had so much to say about Monica's behavior, after the fact. Who does that? Why would you put up with something that is bothering you for years? I do not get it.
I was indifferent towards John. I did not like him or dislike him. I think that right is right and wrong is wrong. Furthermore, if Monica would of committed suicide because she could not take it anymore, then he would have been feeling like crap because he chose to keep his mouth shut about certain things. Leon, bless his heart. He was a part of a game and he was not even cold in the ground. I detested Rodney for how he used his brother and I am sure there is a special place for a person like that.
The things that I did not favor in the book were towards the end. I was not a fan of Rodney coming clean about his actions and what prompted them. It was like he trying to paint Monica as a horrible wife to justify his actions throughout the book. FAIL. I did not like the outcome of Monica and Lynn. There is no way in hell-o that Monica should have accepted her back into her circle. As so-called BFF's I expect you to lie about how good a date looks, or hooking up on a first date, or cheating on a diet. I DO NOT expect you to lie about the things that Lynn lied about. All of Lynn's lies were grounds for termination of a friendship. I would rather buy a cat.
Overall, the book was a good and interesting read. Definitely a page turner and I will certainly read more novels from Ms. Armstrong.

When lies come to light and puzzles come together Monica will find out the meaning of trust no one!!!!!
When you read this book you will not be able to do anything until you have finished. From the start it captures your attention and plays with your emotions so bad you will find yourself screaming. I felt so connected to the characters and the pain and the hurt that was endured.This truly is a five star read. KUDOS TO THE AUTHOR.

This book was all over the place. Some of the repetitive phrasing became annoying, and there were places where the character's names were used incorrectly. I thought that there were too many subplots, and the stories didn't seem to fit together very well. I did give three stars because the main storyline was an interesting story, although somewhat predictable in places. This is an easy read with a few typos but enough of a plot to keep readers' interest.

This was a good story with a surprising ending. A couple times I was confused especially the part dealing with Lavelle. I couldn't stand Lynn and Rodney no comment on his deceitful butt. Other than that it was a good read.

This was a pretty good book. Monica had everything against her and really couldn't trust anyone in her inner circle. But as they say what is done in the dark will come out in the light. Everyone's secrets came out. Drica Armstrong did a good job on this book. Would recommend this book.
