Clare is looking to start over, to reinvent herself. She wants to leave behind her disturbing past and pave a new path. She enters into a friendship with a wealthy circle of friends. But will this be the new beginning she wanted, or will there be a cost to pay for such a friendship? Will their games be fun? What price is there to be paid?
First off, the cover of this book is beautiful!
This book did not work for me. I struggled with it. This book is dark (which I don’t mind) yet slow. The characters were not likeable, and their relationships were toxic. Even with unlikeable characters, I tend to find something that grabs me and sucks me in. I just could not connect with this book. I do appreciate how the author showed an unlikeable character finding other unlikeable characters. Like attracts like as they say.
Others are enjoying this book, so please read their reviews and decide for yourself.
