There's an old saying: The first lie wins...

At a party with her fiancé Ryan Sumner, Evie Porter is not looking for trouble. But trouble has found her.

A woman approaches. She's using her name. And Evie knows it's a warning.

Because Evie Porter is not her real name. It's her job.
Ryan Sumner is not her future husband. He's her target.

And this woman showing up now can only mean one thing. Her employer is watching. One mistake and she's dead.

To save herself, and escape her employer for good, Evie must set the last perfect trap. Which means using herself as bait...

Right up until the last line I was hooked….so many twists and turns. I don’t want to spoil it but my last thought as it finished was 'wow I didn’t see that coming’!

So enjoyable with clever and unpredictable twists and turns throughout. Listened in less than 24 hours! The protagonist is a very likeable antihero.

Gripping, fun and clever

It didn’t blow me away. Having heard how amazing it was and seeing the squillions of five star reviews, I expected more. It was okay; okay storyline, good enough narration but was somehow lacking.

I wanted to love it…..

This started out so well and i thought it was going to be a great story of twists and turns in it. But sadly for me that was not the case it got very silly and so unbelievable. Not sure what the Author was trying to achieve in this book but for me it just got very silly and jumping all over the place trying to build up suspense which in my humble opinion failed.The Narrator did an ok job with trying to build up suspense again i don't think this Author is for me .

Disappointing
