Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

It was a quick and fast paced read! I was able to read this in an hour. The plot had a lot of potential but there was lacking character development. Because of this, the twist was predictable.

Excited to see what else this author has to offer in the future!

After Nadia's husband hurts his back she finds she has to find employment in order to keep a roff over their heads.

She finds a job with with Jace selling houses and soon finds herself with a dilemma.. does she go through with it in order to keep her house ...and does she keep it secret from her husband...

This was a good read. i do wish the characters were a bit more fleshed out but that said I enjoyed the OMG twist and what Nadia did next. I almost screamed out loud with the final turn ..this is a book I will be recommending..

this book was truly a hidden gem!! the pacing was amazing and the characters all had a lot of depth and personality to them.
some of the plot twists were a bit predictable, but a few of the other ones had me jaw-dropped 🤧🫂
the writing was super simple and easy to read as well.

i defs recommend reading this when it comes out if u want a quick mystery/thriller!! 💌

A quick read, finished in just a few hours.

Nadia is offered a new job that seems to be too good to be true, but hopes that it will be a turning point for her and her husband, Matt, who is unable to work since injuring his back. When her boss, Jace, makes Nadia an offer that she can't say no to financially, it changes her life in many ways.

Very suspenseful but I also found it very predictable. The story also felt very rushed. The character development was lacking and fell flat in my opinion. Still, it was a good, entertaining read.

Thanks to Netgalley, Vanessa Garbin and The Book Folks for an ARC in return for an honest review

An interesting storyline but lacking in character development.
The further i got into the book the more ridiculous i found it.
In my opinion not one of the best from this author.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
Sorry for the negative review.

I'm not really sure where to start with this one. To start, I really liked the writing style - I was gripped from page one and ended up finishing this one in a single sitting! It had an interesting premise, but then things got a little crazy...in a weird way. The proposition from Jace to Nadia was unexpected, but I figured it would play a bigger role later in the story. Things did come full circle, but it wasn't developed enough to keep it from feeling random and used as more of a shock factor than a deeper plot point. Overall, my biggest issue with this book was that everything felt very brief and rushed - without the deeper character development and backgrounds, the ending felt out of place and just a bunch of shocking "twists" and inauthentic character interactions that didn't really fit the rest of the storyline. While this one wasn't for me, Garbin has a great writing style and I'd love to see more from her. Thanks for the ARC!

Vanessa Garbin, can we meet for coffee to talk about how you wrote this phenomenal book?!? This was just incredible. I am waiting for the Netflix series that needs to come with this. I loved the intensity, the secrets, the honesty, the realness, the characters, the plot. It was just so good! Loved it!

A quick read and an absolute page turner!

Nadia is delighted to be offered a new job and hopes that it will be a turning point for her and her husband, Matt, who is unable to work since injuring his back. When her boss, Jace, makes Nadia an offer that will solve all of their financial woes, Nadia doesn’t feel she can say no, but the repercussions will be life changing in ways she could never have imagined.

Sinister and twisty, with loads of suspense!

4.5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Vanessa Garbin and The Book Folks for an ARC in return for an honest review.

This was a short, quick read. There is a story with a subplot and the ending ties both together. However, it was lacking in some character development which affected my ability to be fully engrossed in the story.
Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I loved this book it was a real page turner I was gripped as I delved deeper to find out how things would play out between Jace and Nadia.

The Port Coogee setting was captivating and somewhere I’d love to live! At times throughout the book I was rooting for Nadia.

There was many twists and mind-blown turns throughout at one stage I had to read it twice as couldn’t believe it! I’d highly recommend this book, I was engrossed; it was so good I read it in 24 hours!
