Yet he is the only man who can help her fight her worst enemy - Dyllis Fisher, a woman who has vowed to destroy Kirsten's life at all costs. And in a world where bitter vengeance will know no limit, Kirsten needs all the help she can get...

Reviews

[Evi Routoula · Rating 3 out of 5]

Μια συνηθισμένη ερωτική ιστορία ( νέα πανέμορφη γυναίκα ξανασυναντά τον έρωτα της ζωής της στο πρόσωπο ενός πλούσιου, όμορφου και πετυχημένου παραγωγού ταινιών) αποκτά ένα ενδιαφέρον όταν ανακαλύπτουμε ότι υπάρχει ένας τρελός δολοφόνος που θέλει το κακό τους. Αρκετά προβλέψιμο από ένα σημείο και μετά και χωρίς ικανοποιητική εξήγηση για τον λόγο που ο δολοφόνος τους κυνηγά. Διαβάζεται ευχάριστα και γρήγορα στον ελεύθερο χρόνο σας.

Another good read from Susan Lewis. At first I thought the story was about Kirsten and Lawrence's secret as to why they broke up and when that is revealed quite early I realised that another story line was developing and this one was quite emotional. Kirsten had enough on her plate with Dyllis Fisher's powerful vengeance against her for making of with her husband when it appears that someone else has got it in for her, but who? Strange notes, phone calls with her name being whispered or baby chimes playing and two unexplained deaths on Kirstens film set which she then gets charged with. Who is behind it? I couldn't put it down towards the end.

amazing book...mindblowing twists ,surprises and mystery

[Donna Munro · Rating 2 out of 5]

I enjoyed it but this book just took too long to get to the exciting stuff. A bit too much going on. The ending was gripping but some of the middle could have been condensed.

[Christina Rochester · Rating 1 out of 5]

I didn't enjoy this one at all. Again like I've said with some other Susan Lewis books none of the characters seemed particularly likeable, there was way too much drama, the storyline was horrendously unrealistic, and there was a ridiculous number of unnecessary sex scenes.

Can't believe I wasted my time on this.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

I could barely put the book down, there were so many twists and turns in the plot. It was pretty raunchy in places, which is something I had not expected. Overall a good read.

[Jenny · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was terrible! So repetitive in the beginning, unbelievable "plot lines" and dialogue. I hope Susan's other books are better than this one.

I did not even finish the book.

Good book

[Aoife Commins · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was about 350 pages too long. Great ending but the story was too dragged out!

[Mrs Joan Pearson · Rating 5 out of 5]

gripping

Yet another brilliant book by Susan Lewis. Thought I’d worked it out and then the plot twisted and twisted back again

[Tammy Warren · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was gripped from beginning to end and when the story came to its crescendo I was holding my breath could not stop reading

[Frances Zammit · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's been a long time since I've read such a captivating book. Lawrence and Kirsten's love story proved to be complicated, yet I found myself routing for them all the way. I quite enjoyed the film industry as a background to the plot as it depicts the realistic idea of "what glistens, may not be gold".

All in all, it was a great book, from start to finish. No wonder Susan Lewis is one of the Sunday Times' best authors!

[Yana Kennedy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another good read, but I guessed the baddy quite early on, occasionally long winded in the middle but good story nonetheless.
