About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An utterly addictive and twisty thriller, full of dark family secrets and deadly stakes. Perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying and Knives Out.

She came from nothing.

Avery has a plan: keep her head down, work hard for a better future. Then an eccentric billionaire dies, leaving her almost his entire fortune. And no one, least of all Avery, knows why.

They had everything.

Now she must move into the mansion she's inherited. It's filled with secrets and codes and the old man's surviving relatives - a family hell-bent on discovering why Avery got 'their' money.

Now there's only one rule: winner takes all.

Soon she is caught in a deadly game that everyone in this strange family is playing. But just how far will they go to keep their fortune?

A very imaginative story-line with an intriguing conclusion. I really enjoyed the tone of this book and the performance was a cherry on top.

Funky

It's a story totally worth listening too, great start and an interesting plot with some tricky twists, I have read this entire series and it is totally worth using 3 credits.

I gave up on the audio halfway through because I just couldn’t with the narration.

The narrator managed to make 4 late teens / grown adult men sound like they were 8-10yo boys. Their voices were pitched higher than the FMC’s! It was so bad that when Avery talked about having ‘feelings’ for one or another of them, it felt super icky to me, like she was a 17yo crushing on a child.

I’m hoping I can pick up the book where I left off and remove the bad taste from my mouth because I otherwise love the story!

Narrator killed this story for me

I had to push through this book more than I expected to. I stopped listening to the audio and just read the book. The narrator made the brothers sound like they were 10. I had to stop myself when I realised that these brothers were supposed to be hot and potential love interests 😆 Xander sounded like he was 6 or something and then read he was 6 foot 3 and was like - wait a minute, something ain't right 🙈

This audio is a no from me for the brothers
