Story
Newlyweds Tricia and Ethan are searching for the house of their dreams. But when they visit the remote manor that once belonged to Dr. Adrienne Hale, a renowned psychiatrist who vanished without a trace four years earlier, a violent winter storm traps them at the estate… with no chance of escape until the blizzard comes to an end. In search of a book to keep her entertained until the snow abates, Tricia happens upon a secret room. One that contains audio transcripts from every single patient Dr. Hale has ever interviewed.

Story
Eve has a good life. She wakes up each day, kisses her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except… Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal involving a student-teacher affair, with one student, Addie, at its center. But Eve knows there is far more to these ugly rumors than meets the eye. Addie can’t be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that’s what everyone says. But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet…

Story
I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late. But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of....

At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends.

Story
There are three rules Brooke Sullivan must follow as a new nurse practitioner at a men’s maximum-security prison: 1) Treat all prisoners with respect. 2) Never reveal any personal information. 3) Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates. But none of the staff at the prison knows Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary’s most notorious and dangerous inmates.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Teddy Crutcher has won Teacher of the Year at the prestigious Belmont Academy. Everyone thinks he's brilliant. Only you know the truth.
They all smile when he tells us his wife couldn't be more proud - though, if they stopped to think, they would realise no one has seen her in a while.
They're impressed when he doesn't let anything distract him - even the tragic death of a school parent. Even when the whispers start, saying it was murder.
You're sure Teddy is hiding something about what happened that day. You're sure you can prove it.
You just didn't stop to think that when it comes to catching a killer, there's no place more dangerous than just one step behind....

Crazy plot and devious characters!
~ What I Enjoyed ~
- This was a fun roller coaster ride. I loved the cat and mouse games between the devious characters.
- Teddy carried the story. I love being in the head of a villain protagonist. The way he rationalizes things to himself was so entertaining and twisted (he gave me Joe vibes).
- 5 star ending! Very fitting!
- I listened to this on Audible and the actor was so good. At first I didn’t like him because I thought his voice sounded flat, sarcastic and when he voiced other characters, especially females, they sounded almost comical. But after learning more about Teddy it was actually very fitting! I felt like this was how other people sounded to Teddy - incompotent so it actually worked out.
~ What I wanted more of ~
I wish there was more tension, wits and confrontation. I never felt like I was on the edge of my seat thinking how would he/she get out of this pickle. Everyone knew something damning about each other and did some devious things behind the scenes however not much tension actually came out of it. Everyone dealt with the situation quietly and calmly. I discussed specific examples in my goodreads review
There was finally tension and confrontation at the end, I just wish there was more of it throughout the book.
FYI:
There was no mystery as such. You’re in this for the crazy plot with devious characters.

Riveting
Twists and turns, well written.
Just when you think it’s predictable the author throws turn in the story.
