Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. - William Congreve

Now this is what I call a "psychological" thriller. I am so glad I chose this book from NetGalley to read and review. I will definitely be reading more of this author.

This wonderful story is about two women - Olivia and Shelly. Typical of perspective of a person who seems to have lost everything, will find another person having everything they needed and deserved in life. Olivia believed with a vengeance that Shelly had murdered her brother when they were just teens. This memory was locked in the deep recesses of her heart until the day she bumped into Shelly. She now has to take her revenge and close this matter once and for all. 

On tracking Shelly, Olivia finds out that she has been visiting this therapy group. She scoffs at this information that someone like Shelly, who has it all - a job, a great marriage, good looking husband, gorgeous little baby - should be visiting a therapist! Hmmph! So she decides to befriend her and plans her revenge. Before that she needs a plan. 

With a plan tucked under her belt, she, Olivia aka Jess walks into the therapy room to seek advice and healing. And she ensures she is in the same group therapy as Shelly is in. From here on, the story unfolds like a warm croissant. Layer by layer, melting in your mouth, forcing you to want more.

Plot after plot, Jess is winning every sinister move. She is out to destroy Shelly. She is going to take away everything Shelly has - marriage, kids, happiness, peace, everything, because she murdered her brother and seems to have completely forgotten the whole episode! How can one be so insensitive?!

Does Jess aka Olivia get what she wants? Does Shelly deserve this onslaught from her new found friend, Jess? Read this book to get your answers. The publication date is yet to be finalized, but when it does, make sure you get your hands on this one. Perfect storyline, very good ending. Now that's a good book to me.

The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden

Dating apps. Marriage sites. Online data about people you are free to meet. As much as I want to be liberal in my thoughts and open minded, I somehow don't like the sound of these sites that host people to further their relationships. Most often than not, you bump into someone who will change your life forever. For good or for bad! The story is cleverly divided between a Before and Now timeline. The Before timeline talks of youngsters Tom and Daisy who were high school sweethearts. Tom comes from a fragile and volatile family background. His father often beats up his mother. Daisy's best friend does not want Tom to be close to Daisy; she does not trust him one bit. What has Tom done that is so bad? Or does he have bad company who do bad things? In the Now timeline, there is Sydney , just another person, on the look out for a date/life partner. The people she is currently meeting on the dating app are pathetic. She met a Kevin online and after one date,   Sydney realizes  that ...
