When Paris Peralta is arrested in her own bathroom\u2014covered in blood, holding a straight razor, her celebrity husband dead in the bathtub behind her\u2014she knows she\u2019ll be charged with murder. But as bad as this looks, it\u2019s not what worries her the most. With the unwanted media attention now surrounding her, it\u2019s only a matter of time before someone from her long hidden past recognizes her and destroys the new life she\u2019s worked so hard to build, along with any chance of a future. Twenty-five years earlier, Ruby Reyes, known as the Ice Queen, was convicted of a similar murder in a trial that riveted Canada in the early nineties. Reyes knows who Paris really is, and when she\u2019s unexpectedly released from prison, she threatens to expose all of Paris\u2019s secrets. Left with no other choice, Paris must finally confront the dark past she escaped, once and for all. Because the only thing worse than a murder charge are\u00a0two<\/em>\u00a0murder charges.<\/p>\n

I will say that there are two major twists in this book. I suspected the first one, but it took a lot of red herrings to determine that I was right. Well played, Jennifer. The second one was surprising, but maybe not super exciting. However, it worked! So don\u2019t let that deter you. I couldn\u2019t stop reading until the very last page, and it\u2019s a rare occasion when I don\u2019t want a book to end\u2026but that was the case here! <\/p>\n

I rated this novel five stars. Suspenseful and mysterious, with intriguing characters and whip-smart timelines and POVs. Highly recommended. I had so much fun with the reveals in this, as the three threads begin to weave together. I felt this was expertly-plotted and a great way to escape the world for a while.<\/p>\n
