toxic, chaotic, emotionally unhinged, and dripping in the kind of drama that would have me filing restraining orders in real life.
And whew… Lucinda Berry absolutely fed my toxic little reader heart with this one.
This wasn’t just a thriller.
This was emotional manipulation,
obsession, betrayal,
paranoia, and “sleep with one eye open” energy wrapped into one addictive spiral.
Every chapter felt like somebody lighting a match in a room full of gasoline. The tension kept building until I was side-eyeing everybody.
Because honestly?
Who needs enemies when
your own friends are plotting
on your downfall?
The scariest part of this story wasn’t the twists—it was how personal everything felt.
The lies cut deeper because they came from people who claimed to love each other.
Everybody was hiding something,
everybody was capable of destruction,
and nobody came out clean.
And Jade? Baby…
Jade stood ten toes down in the name of love, even when love was dragging her straight through the mud.
She was willing to risk her peace,
her sanity, her safety—everything.
That kind of ride-or-die devotion is terrifying, messy, and lowkey seductive to read about because you keep asking yourself, “How far is too far when your heart is involved?”
Apparently, for Jade…there was no limit.
This book had me acting ridiculous.
I’m talking accidental naps mid-chapter,
waking up confused,
grabbing the book before I even checked my phone,
telling myself “one more chapter”
for three straight hours.
The suspense had me in a chokehold.
Now the ONLY reason this didn’t get five stars from me is because I cannot stand when a book leaves me hanging off the edge of a cliff fighting for oxygen while the author walks away smiling.
I needed answers.
Closure.
Resolution.
Something!
Instead, Lucinda Berry left me emotionally stranded with my jaw on the floor and my blood pressure elevated.
And honestly?
That woman knew exactly
what she was doing.
