A thorough and well-written book about a woman who is pure trouble all of her life for those who care about her most. And woe unto those who allow her to get close to them or take pity on her and try to help her. This book held my interest very well following Leah Ward almost like a high-velocity tropical storm on its path waiting to see if it becomes a hurricane and how much damage it will do before it ends. We know it's usually the guys we have to watch out for, but every now and then a woman comes along that is just purely bad from a young age and nothing can fix that. Leah is one you just don't want to cross paths with. This is one for the true crime lovers. Read and find out for yourselves. My thanks to NetGalley, WildBlue Press, and the author for providing me with an ARC in return for my honest review.

This was my first time reading the author and it will not be my last. This book grabs from page one and will not let go. I was actually sad when I was done reading. The victim in this book, Ejaz Ahmad, was a hard working, good father. He did not deserve what Leah Ward was horrendous. This woman was a true sociopath. There were warning signs but Ejaz being the kind of man he was, chose to ignore them. This book is a very good writing on domestic violence. We never truly know people, do we? For the lover of the true crime genre, read this book. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced reading copy in return for my honest review.

Gripping and tragic. A must read for fans of true crime.
