Description
The bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish—a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick—returns with a psychological thriller, filled with chilling serpentine twists, about a woman fighting to hold onto the only family she’s ever loved—and how far she’ll go to preserve it.
Named one of the most anticipated thrillers of the year by Goodreads, Bustle, SheReads, and Library Journal; A LibraryReads pick of the month
Breezing into the upscale seaside paradise of Westport, Connecticut, gorgeous thirtysomething Piper Reynard sets down roots, opening a rehab and wellness space and joining a local yacht club. When she meets Leo Drakos, a handsome, successful lawyer, the wedding ring on his finger is the only thing she doesn’t like about him. Yet as Piper well knows, no marriage is permanent.
Meanwhile, Joanna has been waiting patiently for Leo, the charismatic man she fell in love with all those years ago, to re-emerge from the severe depression that has engulfed him. Though she’s thankful when Leo returns to his charming, energetic self, paying attention again to Evie and Stelli, the children they both love beyond measure, Joanna is shocked to discover that it’s not her loving support that’s sparked his renewed happiness—it’s something else.
Piper. Leo has fallen head over heels for the flaky, New Age-y newcomer, and unrepentant and resolute, he’s more than willing to leave Joanna behind, along with everything they’ve built. Of course, he assures her, she can still see the children.
Joanna is devastated—and determined to find something, anything, to use against this woman who has stolen her life and her true love. As she digs deeper into Piper’s past, Joanna begins to unearth disturbing secrets . . . but when she confides to her therapist that she fears for the lives of her ex-husband and children, her concerns are dismissed as paranoia. Can she find the proof she needs in time to save them?

5By reading my bookI love reading books like this. I wanted to keep reading to the end.Annoying Plot Twist
2By S. MerrellI loved the book The Last Mrs. Parrish which is why I decided to read this one. But the characters and their motivations and actions made no sense the entire book. It was really frustrating and there were several times I wanted to just put the book down and give up on it. It just wasn’t enjoyable to read. But then at the very end there’s a plot twist and it suddenly all makes sense. But because it’s at the very end, I was like, “I seriously just suffered through all that for a plot twist at the end?” Although I’m a sucker for plot twists and surprises, this one was annoying. I think the author could have done a better job with the characters to make everything before the ending a more entertaining read.Disappointing
1By This game is so confusingContrived, a real disappointment. Read the Publisher’ s Weekly review, which I saw only after I bought this.Not my favorite
1By Cortnee BrookeI really don’t like leaving bad reviews but I’m going to have to for this book. Very slow with a predictable ending and anticlimactic.Stlll deciding
3By KellyAnn9So many of the things that didn’t make sense throughout the novel start to make more sense by the ending. Not my favorite by the author but I had more appreciation for the work once I finished it. Didn’t see the ending coming.Solid Liv Constantine book
4By Madnel11It’s no ‘the last mrs. Parrish’ but another good Liv Constantine thriller. I did not see that ending coming, I do recommend!Wanted to like jt
1By drtcge3I thought the cover description sounded pretty interesting and it definitely made me want to read it, but it was just not it. I hate being critical about a book because no matter whether I liked it or not, someone worked really hard to make it. So I’ll just say if you really feel compelled to read this book, read it on the Libby app where you can get it for free.
