Book Summary:


A simple arrangement. A web of deceit with shocking consequences.


Welcome to Brighton Hills: an exclusive, gated community set against the stunning backdrop of the Oregon coast. Home to doctors, lawyers, judges--all the most upstanding members of society. Nothing ever goes wrong here. Right?


Cora's husband, Finn, is a cheater. She knows it; she just needs to prove it. She's tired of being the nagging, suspicious wife who analyzes her husband's every move. She needs to catch him in the act. And what better way to do that than to set him up for a fall?


Paige has nothing to lose. After she lost heI fr only child in a hit-and-run last year, her life fell apart: her marriage has imploded, she finds herself screaming at baristas and mail carriers, and she's so convinced Caleb's death wasn't an accident that she's secretly spying on all everyone in Brighton Hills so she can find the murderer. So it's easy for her to entrap Finn and prove what kind of man he really is.


But Paige and Cora are about to discover far more than a cheating husband. What starts as a little agreement between friends sets into motion a series of events neither of them could have ever predicted, and that exposes the deep fault lines in Brighton Hills. Especially concerning their mysterious new neighbor, Georgia, a beautiful recluse who has deep, dark secrets of her own...


What I Thought:


This is the first book by Seraphine Nova Glass that I have read, but it will not be the last. This book kept my attention from the start till the finish. I thought the characters were well developed and the plot was well thought out. This book was so well written, I felt what the characters were feeling. I was totally blown away by the outcome of this one and actually did not see it coming at all. This was a quick read for me because it was so entertaining, and I could not wait to see what happened next. This was one I did not want to put down.
