Favorite Quotes:
Like many marriages, it’s easy when it’s easy, and it’s hell when it’s not.
I can’t shake the insidious tendrils of doubt that have wormed their way into my consciousness. The feeling of being watched is ever-present, like an itch I can’t quite scratch. My reflection in the café window seems to mock me, a twisted caricature of the woman I’d once been.
My Review:
There are no heroes in this story. The main characters and most of the secondary characters are rather heinous and vile people, certainly not individuals whom I’d like to share air with, yet I was on edge, chewing on my cuticles, flinching, cringing, and wriggling on the hook to know what was going to happen to these vile creatures. Oh, my… what does that say about me?
Britney King definitely has a dark side and we should all thank our lucky stars that she has exceptional word voodoo and channels her twisty side into dynamic and enthralling stories, as no telling what nefarious happening would befall those around her if she didn’t. I shudder to think!
