Description

Read this standalone novel from New York Times bestselling author of the Reverend Curtis Black series, Kimberla Lawson Roby.

Paige Donahue has always lived in her sister Camille's shadow. As children, Camille had the grades, the friends, and their parents' love, while Paige was left with hand-me-downs and criticism. Now as adults, Camille lives an idyllic life with her husband, Pierce, and her two perfect children in a beautiful home, while Paige is stuck in a small condo with bills she can't afford to pay.

But no more. With seeds of doubt planted in both Camille's and Pierce's minds, Paige's plan to steal her brother-in law starts to work. But when he reveals his decision to make his marriage work, a desperate Paige moves from envy to madness. What results from her dangerous scheme is something no one could have imagined.

    It seemed to me that it was a little rushed and unfinished. I enjoyed the story but could have been prolonged I guess.
  • Just ok

    I felt like this book was rushed and thrown together quickly. Probably one of the authors worse books. Seems as though the she threw a lot of unnecessary information in the book to fill space, that was truly irrelevant. This was a real snooze!!!!

    This could have been a really great book but it felt rushed. The characters and plot never really developed. You didn't have time to get to know or relate to them. Definitely not her best work.
  • No substance, no plot, no background story line

    I have read several of Lawson-Robys' books and this is the worst by far. Just the ramblings of a mad woman with no story line or background as to how she became that way. Having some history from the mothers' point of view would have helped. Save your money, buy a real book!
  • I miss Curtis Black... 
