Big love to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC—this one was sitting real high on my June radar, and let me just say: it brought the heat. Legal thriller fans, this one hits hard. And yep—it officially rereleased June 3rd, so clear your schedule.

We kick things off with a straight-up what is going on?! moment—two sisters, one dead father, and two 911 calls made at the same exact time from the same house. I was already squinting like, “Nah, y’all plotted something.” No way that’s a coincidence… right?

But plot twist: these sisters don’t even rock with each other like that. Haven’t spoken in years, and the tension? Thick. As we get deeper into their story, the truth starts to slip out—and let me tell you, it’s not cute. The dynamic between them and their father? Weird. Off. Low-key disturbing. I kept thinking I had one of them figured out, then boom—everything flips. I was wrong. A lot. And I loved that.

Now the legal side? Fire. Eddie Flynn is cool, calculated, and always ten steps ahead. Kate? She’s a beast—sharp, relentless, and grinding her way through a toxic workplace just to get her shot. Both of their perspectives gave the story weight and made it impossible to pick a side. One minute I was rooting for one team, next minute I was flipping.

But let’s talk about the real curveball—“She.”
That POV? Creepy. Smooth. Vicious. It slid in and completely shifted the energy. Didn’t give too much, but just enough to make me second-guess everything. Was holding my head because.. Wtf!!

By the time we hit the trial, I was glued to the pages. The courtroom scenes were tense, smart, and straight-up cinematic. The twists kept coming, the pace never slowed, and the writing stayed tight all the way to the end.

This was a 5-star experience for me. Clever, gritty, and full of heart. If you like thrillers that keep you on your toes and characters with real depth? You need this on your shelf.
And yeah—I’ll never listen to “She” by Elvis Costello without catching a chill again. Facts.
