A suspenseful plot narrated from a view of two women centered around the main character Leo Drakos - one being his wife and other a new age woman who enters his life. The storyline seemed quite predictable at the onset - a dutiful wife and loving mother of two kids determined to save her family from the other woman in her husband's life. Each of the women was striving to justify that they are better than the other by acting the extra mile to prove their stance. At one point, it kept me guessing as to who would emerge victorious in this cat and mouse game. But as the plot progressed and truth began to unfold, I was blown out by the suspense and twist. The last few chapters had me gripped onto my seat. The chapters were short and crisp, not having too many characters in the plot and moved at a steady rate. Overall, a fantastic psychological thriller written by the duo sisters and a recommended read for all enthusiasts.
