[Melissa Suslowicz Bartz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow!!!! There were so many secrets in this one. As each chapter passed you found out what the secrets were and boy were they juicy. They will knock your socks off. I was like OMG!!!! I really enjoyed this one and I know you will too. The characters were great, the plot was awesome and that ending was mind blowing. What didn’t I like about this one is the real question. It had everything I look for in a thriller. I’ve read this authors books before and she never disappoints. I can’t wait for her next one.

I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first Ruby Speechley book that I read, it was a story full of lies, heartbreak and deceit, to start with I felt sorry for Maddie when I found out that max had disappeared but towards the end I started to hate her for the way she treated Max’s other family, either way max shouldn’t have treated either woman the way that he did.
