If you like the edge of your seat kind stories I believe this one may be for you. The thrill of who died and who done it had me continuing the story eagerly. I really did like the characters this author decided to bring forth to the forefront. Miranda, Katie, Emma, Doug, and Heather.

Miranda: A snot nose rich evil brat. That is the best that I could describe her.

Katie: Girl in Miranda's shadow. I was listening to the audio so at first, I wasn't sure what kind of person Katie was. I thought she was badass single lady who needed no man... I was kinda wrong about that. Lol.

Emma: An annoying wanna-be. Dear lord, I just wanted to punt her back into her mother's womb.

Doug: I want that man. That is all. All kinds of manly, mysterious, and troubled past.

Heather: She is an ANGEL. She had a sad past but she wooo I want her too. Doug, her, and I.

There are more in the group that doesn't get their own voice. Mark, Julien, Nick, Bo, Samira, and Giles. To be honest it was a lot of people to keep track of. It took me more almost halfway into the book to figure out who was who.

Mark: Emma's boyfriend. Man has his own problems and not in a good way.

Julien: Rich narcissistic prick. He is literally the dumb male version of Miranda. Also Miranda's husband.

Nick: I didn't think he was really problematic. He is gay and dating Bo, who is also unproblematic. Those two were really kind of fresh air in this whole thing.

Samira: Once a wild child, she is now settled with Giles and they have a kid together.

Giles: We know so little of this guy. 1. He is Samira's husband and baby daddy. 2. His past job. (All I can say since it will be a spoiler.) That is literally it.

The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because of all the characters. I love Nick and Bo, but they really didn't have a place in the story except for... maybe a couple of things? They were there for a bit of back story, but honestly too many characters crowd a story.

To be honest, I wish there was more going on with Doug and Heather... they seem pretty cute together.
