Trade Review
Must read * Bella *
A brilliant thriller * Closer *
Fast paced and intriguing. I loved The Secretary
I couldn't put it down - a gripping read from start to finish and kept me guessing until the end. A compulsive and complex tale of the toxic effects of revenge
Mind blown! The end was a triumph, absolutely brilliant!

A compulsive story that oozes such a sense of injustice you can't stop turning the page to find out if revenge is taken . . . An addictive page-turner that will leave your stomach in knots.
Highly recommended!


Gripping and powerful! The tension in the novel was cranked up notch by notch until I was gasping as the story unravelled . . . A fantastic read!
Twists and turns but the beauty of this story is that it could happen anywhere. School run revenge at its best
Hard to put down! The pace of this book is satisfyingly relentless and the ending is as dramatic and surprising as Zoe Lea's clever writing promises.
'Super readable and so clever. Reading it as a mother, you can't help but question yourself throughout: Would I do that? Would I go that far? It's full of blurred lines and shifting allegiances and filled me full of rage (as a mother) and awe (as an author)'
A well-plotted, twisty-turns tale . . . [A] page turner of a psychological thriller
