Emotions are strong with this one!

Susanna did a fabulous job with the narration! The way she read it made me feel the suspense more than if I was personally reading the book. Christine did a wonderful job at making me despise the main character, yet also feel for her. This was a solid book that kept me interested so much that it was done in half a day. Lots of emotion. Really liked the multiple POVs. First book by Christine, but not my last! Well done!

Absolutely loved this audiobook!! The narrator brought out the FMC better than I expected!! If you haven’t read this book yet grab your copy now on Amazon. I promise you won’t regret it

Deliciously Dark

Great listen for anyone who likes a little bit of darkness with their romance. Thriller vibe with a compelling story. Narrator’s performance was great!

We all have secrets

The narrator definitely did the book justice. I was hooked from the first chapter. Each of the characters drew me in wanting to know more and know what they were hiding. I was so caught up in listening to the book I was almost late for work because I just had to finish it! I recommend to read this book or listen to the audio. You won’t be disappointed.

A Haunting Tale of Secrets, Scars, and Second Chan

Christine Dempsey doesn’t just write suspense—she carves it into your bones. Annie’s journey is dark, emotional, and deeply personal. The slow unraveling of her family’s secrets was masterfully done, and just when I thought I had things figured out, another twist knocked the wind out of me.

The emotional weight of Annie’s choices—revenge vs. forgiveness—was so raw, and the forbidden romance layered even more tension into the already gripping plot. Dempsey’s storytelling is sharp and cinematic, and she made me feel everything.

🎧 As for the audiobook—Susanna Lloyd was phenomenal. Her voice was steady and expressive, capturing Annie’s pain, anger, and vulnerability with chilling clarity. She elevated the entire experience and brought a haunting beauty to every word. I’d listen to anything she narrates.

If you love stories that blend mystery, emotional depth, and a touch of danger—this one is for you.

Didn’t see that coming

This book had a lot going on it suck’s you all the way in. The narrator did well but transition between chapters was sometimes abrupt. I’m excited to see what’s next from this author!

Easy read with a twist!

I absolutely love this boo!. The villain was the main character with a lot of surprises and twists, especially at the end. I’ve actually read it twice!
