Really 2 1/2 - rounded down because I am feeling mean today.

So it’s good to try new genres, and I can see why some people love it so much but I don’t think this author is for me and I will not be picking up any more from her.

This is a psychological thriller, fast-paced and ever so melodramatic. The novel is meant to be read in a rush, in one or two long gulps and over before you have time to think about it.

The premise is an interesting one, if you, like me you had discussions about certain people who seem to fall off the face of the earth to no longer be seen by family and friends once they meet new partners. What on earth could be happening in the relationship to make them abandon their lives like that?

The answers given in this novel are certainly melodramatic, it is a thriller, after all, but they lack a certain amount of plausibility. My ability to suspend disbelief was tenuous in part 2 - but I was rather enjoying reading the story again from then "Bad Girls” perspective. However, there were too many plot holes by part three and the ending reminded me of a movie made for TV.

So overall not my genre but glad I tried it and I am sure it is lots of fun to those who like their Bad girls mean bitches.
