My Review:

I was so excited when I heard that there was a new Paige Northwood book coming out, I just love this series!

As always, we are launched straight into the action when Paige gets a call from Lukas to say that his house is on fire. She rushes to the scene, and from then on she is entangled in a web of lies, suspicion and danger.

Paige always ends up getting in too deep, she just can’t help getting involved, and even though at times I wished I could get into the book and drag her back from potential danger, she keeps ploughing on, getting into dodgy situations.

Her personal life is an important part of the book too, and she has some big decisions to make.

This fast-paced, dramatic and compelling book had me turning the pages so fast, I just could not put it down. Another fabulous addition to the series. My only complaint is that the ending left me wanting more, I hope she can write the next one quickly, as I really need to know what happens next for Paige!

For anyone who loves a good psychological thriller, with a bit of police procedural thrown in, with a strong female lead character, that will have you at the edge of your seat, I can’t recommend it highly enough.
