I mentioned this book in a previous post & I finished reading it in just a couple days. This was the first book that I read by Liv Constantine and I will be checking out some of their other books for sure!
The book is narrated by the viewpoints of both women, Piper and Joanna, as they each navigate their relationships with Leo and the kids.
Joanna is worried about the man and children she loves after being pushed out of the house when Leo’s new love interest, Piper, moves in. Joanna is convinced that Piper is up to no good and is determined to do whatever it takes to keep Leo, Stelli, and Evie safe. Joanna grows more and more fixated on digging up Pipers past to try and prove how she’s dangerous to the family. Meanwhile, Piper works through the frustrations of trying to gain the acceptance of Leo’s children, to be part of a family that will hopefully be different than her past experiences- but will it be?
I absolutely don’t want to give anything away… but I will say that this book took some twists & turns that I was not expecting! So for this reason, I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars. As I was getting into the meat of the story, I thought I had it figured out, that it was going to be predictable… but boy was I wrong! I highly recommend this read to any crime fiction or psychological thriller fan, it really was that good!
Since I was not familiar with the author and because I just loved this book so much, I checked out the authors website and learned that Liv Constantine is actually a pen name for the bestselling authors, Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine. They are sisters that write together, from states apart! So now knowingt this, I must say that they FLAWLESSLY created this story… you would never know that it was a joint effort across distance, the book just flowed so well.!
In case you are interested, other books by Liv Constantine include: The Last Mrs. Parrish; The Last Time I Saw You; and Circle Dance
Have you read The Wife Stalker or any of their other books? What did you think?
