I can not say enough great things about Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkenan. Every book I read by them is a winner. They, yes they, have a way of writing a story that is suspenseful at every turn. Just when I think I have it figured out, boom, another twist. The psychological crazy that these ladies write is amazing. For this book I was so torn on who to believe and who to connect with or identify with. I listened through overdrive and that added a level of suspense I think. What I love about the style of Greer and Sarah is that every action, conversation and interaction is calculated. There are no extra words, no fluff. Every character is over the top and larger than possible which could make the story unbelievable but instead adds to the depth of the story. SPOILER: my favorite twist was that Emma, the new wife, was the daughter of the professor that got Vanessa pregnant. Like I said every moment calculated. I gave 4 stars
