Title: Her Secret Revenge
Author: Cole Baxter
Publisher: Bookouture
Publication Date: July, 2024
Genre: Thriller
Pages: 349
My Rating: ★★★★☆
Anna has sacrificed a lot for her husband. The chance to be a mother, being the most important thing. Her childish, chauvinistic, Mama’s boy, mistake of a husband. Desperate to divorce him, but not so desperate to leave before she gets her hands on half of his inheritance, Anna starts to plan her escape. But when the ex husband of one of Paul’s side chicks comes after him, and bodies start turning up, the two of them find themselves hunkering down and having to live together while they both fear for their lives.
Ooh what a cast of unlikeable people! Everyone had their own bit of deceit going on. I liked the way it all unravelled. There are some good twists and suspenseful scenes (the car chase being my personal favourite).
I enjoyed the dual perspectives, I think Paul’s part was written particularly well. I hated him!
I wish we’d known more about why the sheriff was so standoffish though – what was his relationship to Carlos and what did uncle James do so wrong? Carlos seemed like he could have been so much more integral than he was.
A solid 4 stars from me.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for my advanced copy.
