In this game, even winning can be deadly…

Imagine living such a normal live – married to a professor with a 15 year old step-daughter and an infant son. You even host the local book club with your best friend then one day a new neighbor shows up for said book club, and your life becomes anything but normal.

Amy Whey lives the perfect suburban life in Florida, married to a great man, Davis, with their two kids. Amy is a dive instructor and runs the local book club with her best friend Charlotte. What we don’t know is that Amy has a secret. A big one that their new neighbor, Roux, knows and wants to make everyone else know that is unless Amy pays her a large amount of money. Roux shows up at the book club one night and takes it over. Instead of discussing the book she wants to play a game. Her version of Never Have I Ever, but instead of drinking when you’ve done something that someone else says, in Roux’s version you have to be the one with the worst secret. What Roux is trying to do is to get Amy to tell her secret, but Amy won’t give in. Will she end up playing Roux’s game? You’ll have to read to find out.

This was my first book by Joshilyn Jackson. I won an advanced readers copy through a Goodreads giveaway and was very excited to read this book. It was my first Goodreads giveaway win, and I really enjoyed the book. I thought the twists and turns were great, and I didn’t want to put this book down. I highly recommend this especially if you are a fan of mysteries and psychological thrillers.

One complaint I had was that the chapters were really long, and I felt they needed some breaks within them. This could be because I had an advanced copy that they hadn’t been edited yet, but I like to be able to stop mid-chapter if needed, but there were no breaks in these chapters.

Thank you Goodreads and William Morrow for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
