Many thanks to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing | Park Row Books and Megan Beatie Communications for gifting me both a digital and physical ARC of the latest thriller by a favorite, Lisa Unger. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Ana Blacksmith has gathered her closest friends and sister Vera for a brunch to celebrate her recent breakup from her boyfriend Paul. But when shocking news about Paul arrives, all eyes are on Ana, the angry ex with a bad reputation. Suspicions only intensify when Ana’s best friend falls deathly ill after the brunch. But Ana is not the only one who had a score to settle with Paul.
This is the perfect book to review on International Women's Day, as it showcases strong women taking back control of their lives. While this is a bit more of a slow-burn thriller than normal for Unger, I was there for all of it. I loved the coven and their poisonous/medicinal herb garden, explained perfectly by this quote - "Girls, remember this, the only difference between poison and medicine is the dose." Be sure to read the author's acknowledgement at the end for the real-life inspiration for this novel. This was a great revenge novel - Paul was a horrible human and there are many suspects lining up to do him harm, so it will keep you guessing until the end.
