About the Book
Coworkers Ruby and Harry are
in love—but they’re married to other people. They decide to tell their spouses
that their marriages are over and to start a new life together. Ruby has wanted
to leave her controlling husband for a while, so she tells him she’s leaving
and waits at the hotel where she and Harry are to meet. But Harry never shows
up.
Suddenly, Ruby has lost everything. Harry won’t answer her
calls, and she’s fired from her job. She finds a cheap apartment in a run-down
part of town, all the while wondering what happened to Harry.
Just as Ruby thinks she’s hit rock bottom, strange and
menacing things start to happen—someone is sneaking into her apartment, and
someone is following her home late at night—and she is going to have to fight
for her survival.
My Review
Twisty, twisty, twisty. Right off the bat I knew this was going to be good one. From the first change in POV I was already going back and rereading chapters to try to stay on top of the storyline and figure out these characters for myself, but I was kept guessing until the end. It’s messy yet relatable, and while all of the characters were doing terrible things, I felt a little bad for each of them. Just a little bit, but it still made me want to keep reading to see if anyone would end up a winner in this book and the ending – after plenty of twists and turns – was a good one. If you are a fan of suspense novels but don’t like a lot of murder and death, this would be a good pick for you!
