Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sonya Bateman is an award-winning copywriter and novelist, a mid-eighties to late-nineties fantasy movie enthusiast, coffee hoarder, and collector of cool rocks who spent a not-insignificant portion of her childhood climbing trees in order to read books in peace. She grew up in Central New York, where the seasons are Winter and Road Construction and “not the city” is officially part of everyone’s address.

Sonya has been writing professionally for more than 15 years. She currently lives in a big house in a little city, still in Central New York (not the city), with her husband, son, and feline overlords. She writes fast-paced urban fantasy and twisty, shocking psychological fiction that may leave you suspicious of your friends and neighbors—and sleeping with the lights on.

I actually love it when a book turns out to be something that's new and fresh. I really found this book to be good I could barely put it down to stop for a minute And I love the concept. I'm just shocked that nobody ever thought of it before. A very interesting read with sympathetic characters. I rooted for the crossed heart killer myself. I also don't believe that Lexi would actually get charged with murder when she been so abused. Maybe intentional manslaughter. But I honestly liked the characters. A very good read. There are many kinds of abuse. I wasn't abused by a husband, but by a father All of his children and his wife emotionally. Fortunately, without help he passed away several years ago. So even though he lived to be 94, He finally got what he deserved.

Not a bad read. My problem was getting my head around which was which mainly between Lexus and Josie . The storyline was great. Being that there are so many unreported domestic violence cases owing to the stigma attached to being the victim many men get away with their gutless actions. I won't give away any spoilers as to the story but this book has so many twists that I found myself trying to work out who the perpetrator would be. I did not. Worth a read. I give four stars.

This was an amazing story. I kept thinking I knew " who did it " , but then I would change my mind after reading more. This was a very well written story. It keeps you interested right from the start and it really does surprise you at the conclusion. I really liked this one!

What an awesome story of twists and turns. The author is a great story teller. Her words smoothly flow together as as she tells the ways the women's lives intertwine.

all I can say is WOW - I do not leave long book reviews because sometimes it ruins it for the buyer because some folks tell to much of the story - no point buying the book if to much is told so you know the story already
