I love the book burb it sets the scene for a fast paced domestic thriller.. The story begins as people ring in with reports of a hit and run in the rain. The story is told from the view point of three very different but strong women. Each chapter got me further hooked in as they told me more about the characters and their history. I couldnt wait for them all to come together and the strange chapter in between from a non named character really kept me turning the pages. I like the honesty of each character and their reaction was accurate and true to life. I felt tge story foccued on the women and i would have liked a little one on him by him .
The plot reveal was fabulous and the way it pulled all the characters together and the final twist at the end.
Highly recommended 5 stars.This was a real pleasure to read thank you so much net gallery and bookouture for my arc.

I have read a few books by this author and liked them all. While this might not be my favorite it is still a good read.

Damon is a piece of work to say the least. Although he is married, he finds it impossible to stay faithful. The story begins with a man being hit by a car. The multiple eye witness reports are all different. Told in multiple points of view by the wife, his mistresses and an unnamed person.

The characters are interesting if not all likeable. This set the scene for a fun ride to find the culprit.

I liked that the chapters are short and to the point. I didn't have to slog through a bunch of unnecessary descriptions, etc.

The ending will give you the answers you need in an interesting way.

Thanks to netgalley and Bookouture for the arc.

Damon is too vile for even words to describe.
He got what was coming to him, the loathsome predator.
But I had a hard time finding much sympathy for his women, particularly Marla and Athena, since they knew exactly what a scumbag he was.
Only one had the temerity to mete out justice for them all.
A great read!

Nicole does it again! I’m quickly becoming a fan of the way she writes. Her characters continue to develop and hold my interest and the twists within the domestic drama keep me invested.

Thanks so much NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC

This was a quick read that held my interest overall. I didn’t really care for the main characters, but I always love multiple POV’s. I thought this was a thriller, but it was more of domestic drama. There weren’t really any twists and that’s what I tend to look for but it was a good read.

Damon Kennedy is handsome and rich. He’s also a serial cheater. On a rainy morning, he’s the victim of a hit and run accident. As he lies in a coma, his wife keeps vigil. Through four points of view, his wife, his therapist, his mistress and a mystery person, the reader learns of the events leading up to the crash. What will happen to him now? Who hit him? Was it really an accident? Trope builds suspense and I had difficulty putting this down. I really enjoyed it though the ending was not my favorite. I thank NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this ARC.

A quick, easy read revolving around an unfaithful husband, an angry wife and a number of women on the side who really should know better.

I loved the way the book began with accident reports on a hit and run. Each of the witnesses describes a totally different vehicle as being responsible. Eventually you do discover why. The story is told in three different POV's plus a mystery person who is not revealed until the end and I found their identity to be quite a surprise.

An entertaining read.

I absolutely loved this book. It had everything for me, a marriage hanging on by a thread, unlikable characters, twists galore and the ending just absolutely blew my mind. I highly recommend this book and it is on Kindle Unlimited 😀

Three women. One day. An accident that connects them all...

When Marla's husband is involved in a road traffic collision and placed into an induced coma, she should be sat by his bedside hoping and praying for his safe recovery. Except she isn't.

When Sonya's patient doesn't arrive for his appointment, she is sure it is because of his narcissistic and arrogant traits that have meant he just hasn't bothered turning up. But it isn't.

Anthea arrives for her ultrasound appointment, hoping that the baby's father will have changed his mind and be there for this special moment. Yet he isn't.

The tangled web of these women's lives will be brought together in unimaginable ways as a man lays in a coma in a hospital bed.

I really enjoyed this book, which kept me guessing right through the story. The women are all likable and believable and, despite their differing views and reasons, as a reader you empathise with each of them as you find out their story and how they are connected. I was eager to read on to find out their connections and the ending was a surprise and delightful too.

What a fast-paced ride this story is! It is also a challenge to write a review without any spoilers so I’ll keep it simple. Nicole Trope writes excellent, absorbing stories and this one certainly lives up to that!

Told from several perspectives and dual timelines from before the accident and to the present, after the accident. This allows readers the chance to make predictions, with new information unfolding towards a fuller picture. This runs alongside the present puzzles, actions and challenges that are constantly happening.

Marla is a strong, but at times not particularly likeable, protagonist, dealing with a lot of issues in her marriage, whilst trying to maintain her ‘instagram’ life / public face and make sure her teens only see this facade too.

There are two other main narrators and also a secret narrator, which all contrast well, twisting perfectly towards a climactic ending.

If you can imagine trying to clear twisty weeds from your garden, that are entwined firmly around the main elements of your life, you will have some idea of how wide-reaching the problems in this plot go!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the layered plot unfold towards a great ending. Enjoyable, fast read!

This domestic thriller is based around a narcissistic philanderer and the tangled web of deceit that results in an accident in which he is severely injured. The book follows different POVs, including former scorned mistresses and his wife - all of whom share increasing motive for being involved in the accident which harmed Damon.

The final twist was clever but not particularly concealed as the story did lead to it slowly, rather than taking more of an unexpected turn which was the only thing this book was missing - a little more depth to the twist would have made this an unmissable thriller but sadly the ending left me wanting more after investing so much in the characters throughout.

This was my first book by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed her style of writing, and will look to pick up more of her books over the coming months - both the writing style and the short chapters made it an easy and pleasant read.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

this was addicting, all consuming, thrilling and kept me on the edge of my seat the literal…ENTIRE TIME!

This was so good, I absolutely loved it and CANNOT WAIT for more from Trope!

On a rainy day in Sydney Australia a man was run over and lingers in a coma and while he does the police look for the culprit and the women who were left behind try and figure out what they didn’t know when he was alive. There’s his mistress Athena who is expecting a child that he didn’t want, that was his psychiatrist/other mistress Who seems to only add more confusion to the situation and then there’s his daughter and long-suffering wife. She knew he cheated before and on the day of the accident she wanted them to put all their cards on the table and because the kids were home they went for a ride but how did Damien go from the passenger seat to a victim on side the road and who did it? The ending of this book is a wild OMG ending I didn’t know what to put in my summary and after the book was over I had to sit with it for a few moments to wait for my head to stop ringing because wow! I love Miss tropes books and she certainly doesn’t disappoint with this one a definite five star read and the reason I love her books. I want to say I really had no sympathy for Athena and thought she had a lot of nerve making demands because she was pregnant because she got pregnant for a man who already had two kids… But then again I cannot stand the cheater and so maybe should’ve kept those comments to myself either way this is a great book I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it. I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this route to you voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Nicole Trope did it again!!!!
I felt this book a bit more messy than others by her but I truly enjoyed it!!! Once I started reading I just couldn't stop reading.
I love how this author always creates unique characters!!! And there's always this one character you want to slap in the face, hard 😂
As always with this author, I highly recommended it!!! What an amazing thriller!!!! A fast paced read that will catch you since the beginning!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookotoure for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this book! While the twist wasn’t anything too shocking, it was a quick, great domestic thriller and fun to read. This book is the perfect example of when multiple perspectives can REALLY WORK in a book! I have enjoyed this author’s books and look forward to reading more. 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was addicting! I picked it up and did not want to put it back down until I was finished!

We follow three women - Marla, Sonya, and Athena, after a car accident where a pedestrian was struck. This pedestrian turns out to be Marla's husband. I don't want to give anything else away, because not knowing is half the fun!

I loved the alternating POVs of this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and each woman has such a distinctive voice - some of them more likable than others. I found myself physically anxious while reading this, in a good way. I could not wait to figure out what actually happened, even though I had my suspicions.

The one thing I didn't like about this book was how quickly it wrapped up. I would have liked more at the end. But other than that, it was a really fun ride and I was waiting with bated breath the entire time. I definitely recommend this one, especially if love a thriller that revolves around marriage!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC!

Wow! Revenge is best served cold. This one was cold. Damon had it coming, but he never saw it coming. You have three women and one mystery woman telling this story from their point of view. You have the wife, Marla. Marla is sick of Damon's wandering eye. One mistress is Sonya, and she is not only the mistress, but his therapist. The second mistress is Athena. She is really in love with Damon. Finally, you have a mystery woman's point of view. She slinks around in the shadows.

On a rainy day Damon is hit by a car or cars. No one really saw anything, or the ones that saw something had different accounts for how it happened. The cameras are not working at the intersection which hinders the investigation. You will suspect everyone at some point and time because they all were very angry with him. The further you get into the story the plot thickens even more as you learn more about Damon and his obvious disdain for being honest to anyone in his life. This was a twisty read with many moving parts and the mysterious woman made it even more interesting. You will not be able to put it down because you will have to know the ending.

There were some characters that I really could not stand, and others I felt a little sorry for their situation. Damon was very dislikable due to his general attitude and lack of caring for anyone but himself, but I guess that was necessary in order for him to be the character he portrayed. This one will keep you interested and engrossed until the final pages.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is a quick, easy read. I wasn’t super impressed with the storytelling or the twists, but I wasn’t bored either like I have been with a lot of my reads lately.

The chapters are short and to the point, so not a lot of fluff to skim over. Overall it’s a good read, but it wasn’t a roller coaster ride by any means.

Thank you to the publisher for the gifted ARC. Review will be posted to Insta (@ellie.reads.a.lot) by publication date.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me the opportunity to read this book! It was my first book by Nicole Trope and it was very enjoyable! I sometimes struggle keeping up with multiple point-of-view, but Nicole did a great job of making the story easy to follow! The twist at the end of the book was totally unexpected! I’m giving this four stars because I do feel like the end was a bit too rushed. That being said, I still enjoyed it and would recommend to others!

Loved the short chapters and fast pace of this book.
Really enjoyed reading from different perspectives. Left you wondering what the truth was.
Full of suspense and tension leading up to the bombshell.
Could not put this down.
First read by Nicole Trope.
