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....

The writing was sloppy and pretty badly done, yet the plot and realness of the characters made it so enjoyable I couldn't book the down. Finished within 24 hours. Amazing twist (an incredibly twisted one at that) at the end!

I had much bigger expectations for this book. The plot was easy to call out. All the characters were extremely unlovable. All the relationships were toxic. The main character I found to be annoying. The men in her life were also awful. The ending seems to be what everyone loves, but it was bland.
