From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shanora Williams comes a tale of revenge served ice cold—and a warning to be careful what you scheme for . . .

A brutal tragedy ended Ivy Hill’s happy family and childhood. Now in her twenties and severely troubled, she barely has a life—or much to live for. Until the day she discovers the name of the woman who destroyed her world: Lola Maxwell—the mega-wealthy socialite with a heart, Miami’s beloved “first lady” of charity. Accomplished, gorgeous, and oh-so-caring, Lola has the best of everything—and doesn’t deserve any of it. So it’s only right that Ivy take it all away . . .

Little by little, Ivy infiltrates Lola’s elite circle, becomes her new best friend—and plays Lola’s envious acquaintances and hangers-on against her. But seducing Lola’s handsome, devoted surgeon husband turns into a passionate dream Ivy suddenly can’t control. And soon, an insidious someone will twist Ivy’s revenge into a nightmare of deception, secrets, and betrayal that Ivy may not wake up from . . .

My Thoughts 

Wow this book ruined me!!! In a good way of course. This was straight up good writing t by Shanora Williams.

In this book we meet Ivy Hill, talking to her therapist Marriott who, reveals in their session something that Ivy had wanted for years, a name....Lola Maxwell (the woman who destroyed her life). With Ivy's  obsessive behaviour, this revelation set off a series of events.

Lola Maxwell has everything, a wonderful husband Corey, a beautiful home and money to burn. In seeking revenge, Ivy infiltrates Lola's life and quickly befriends her . But is Ivy the enemy or the victim?? You really need to get to the end... You will be shook.

Full of twists and epic turns, this book had me on edge. I highly recommend this.
