Star Rating: 5

It starts as a game at a book group one night. Never Have I Ever...done something I shouldn't.

But Amy Whey has done something she shouldn't. And Roux, the glamorous newcomer to Amy's suburban neighbourhood, knows exactly what that is. Roux promises she will go away. She will take herself and her son, who is already growing dangerously close to Amy's teenage stepdaughter, and she will go. If Amy plays by her rules.

But Amy isn't prepared to lose everything she's built. She's going to fight back, and in this escalating game of cat and mouse, there can be only one winner. [Goodreads]

My Thoughts: 

This was one of those books that just kept surprising me, again and again. I couldn't guess anything that was happening, I felt physically nervous through most scenes and I feel like I've been on one hell of an entertaining ride the whole way through. This was SO GOOD. 

Joshilyn's writing is so clever and witty and her characters are so well-rounded. They truly do make this story. They're flawed and complicated and completely keep you on your toes. It was one of those books that I really didn't want to end, but couldn't read fast enough to see how it all wrapped up. 

This is Joshilyn's first thriller, but she has many other books under her belt. I cannot wait to see what else she comes out with next. Truly, this author has got me hooked! And even though thrillers are normally my favourite, I think I need to know what else this author has in store for me - I feel like I will truly miss her writing now that I've finished. 

A solid 5 stars from me! 

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for this copy in exchange for my honest review.
