IF YOUR BEST FRIEND WAS IN DANGER, YOU'D TRY TO SAVE HER...WOULDN'T YOU?

'Dark and addictive, twisty and twisted...phenomenal!' Andrea Mara, author of ALL HER FAULT

Are you ready to play?

Best friends Cleo and Rachel spend their evenings pretending to be people they're not, inventing elaborate stories to escape the monotony of their real lives. It's all harmless fun - until they play the game on the wrong person...

It's your move now.

Five years later, Cleo is still struggling to come to terms with the night that destroyed her friendship with Rachel and almost cost them their lives. And then she receives a text: Rachel is missing. Have you seen her?

There's only one person to blame.

Wracked with guilt for failing Rachel the last time they were in danger, Cleo races to find her friend. But could the past be repeating itself? Only this time, they're caught up in a far darker game.

The rules don't matter when the goal is revenge.

Kept me hooked from start to finish. I needed to know just what the game was, just what happened 5 years ago, as well as fearing for Rachel's safety, and Cleo's frame of mind in the present. 

What a deviously twisty book this is, where you have to believe Cleo as she is the main viewpoint, but at the same time, you wonder just what she is hiding too. 

I really couldn't have predicted this and I loved trying to figure everything out. 

I loved the concept behind Cleo and Rachel's game and I can't help but feel this book is trying to tell us not to believe everything you see or hear online. 

Another fantastic psychological thriller from this fabulous author.

Thank you to Transworld and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
