Alison has it all. A doting husband, adorable daughter, and a career on the rise - she's just been given her first murder case to defend. But all is never as it seems...

Just one more night. Then I'll end it.

Alison drinks too much. She's neglecting her family. And she's having an affair with a colleague whose taste for pushing boundaries may be more than she can handle.

I did it. I killed him. I should be locked up.

Alison's client doesn't deny that she stabbed her husband - she wants to plead guilty. And yet something about her story is deeply amiss. Saving this woman may be the first step to Alison saving herself.

I'm watching you. I know what you're doing.

But someone knows Alison's secrets. Someone who wants to make her pay for what she's done, and who won't stop until she's lost everything....

This book totally surprised me. I didn't really have high expectations (I'm not quite sure why), I just remember it was a spontaneous buy, but this turned out to be a very intense and great read.

The characters in this book aren't likeable - that's the first thing I noticed. You literally don't like one person (except Olivia), so I didn't know in which direction the story will go and how it's going to end.

There's a lot happening in it and I especially liked it because there weren't any boring moments and it wasn't dragging on. 

The ending completely took me by surprise because I couldn't even imagine the story going that way, so it was a major twist. 

Overall, this is a great, suspense read that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. 

Actions have consequences.
