reviewed on + 14 more book reviews


Terry Painter enjoys her quiet life in tranquil Delray, Florida, where the single, forty-year-old nurse lives alone in the house she inherited from her mother. When young, vibrant Alison Simms rents the cottage on her property, the two women strike up a fast friendship - and Terry is swept into a fantastic new life: dinners out, shopping, makeovers, even flirting with the handsome son of one of her elderly patients. But nothing about her newfound companion is as it appears, as Terry discovers when Alison's closely guarded past comes to light. Now Terry is locked into a race to reclaim her own life - before she opens her door any further to the stranger she thought she knew...

I have to say, I loved this book. It seemed very predicatable most of the way through, and I got a bit bored, but then there was a completely unexpected twist at the end that changed my opinion of the book. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good thriller with a twist ending!
