Summary

Book 1 - Frenemy

I stand at the front door and meticulously check my reflection in the glass. I must look perfect to meet Lou's new boyfriend. I haven't been invited but best friends don't require invitations, right?

Her presence has always been a constant, demanding focus in my life. Now, however, it's evolving into something deeper, with unsettling imitations and intrusive encroachments into every aspect of my world. The struggle to create distance only seems to intensify Donna's attachment, Pulling her dangerously closer.

And by the time I realise I've risked everything, it's probably too late to stop her.

Book 2 - The Fall Out

There's only one person who knows the truth about what happened next door. The problem is, she knows the whole truth, which is why I must ensure that she never breathes a word.

Watching and listening to Lou and Charlie used to leave me fraught with envy and loneliness. But now, living next door to my old adversary Liz, I long for the old days - when I was left alone.

My sister Jenna can't understand how the girl who was my childhood bully could now want to be my friend. People change, I tell her.

But do they?

Neither can she understand why Liz is paying for a cruise to atone for the misery she once caused me. There must be strings attached, Jenna says.

She's right. There is.

Book 3 - Nemesis

In the midst of a sea of holidaymakers, I find myself the lone outsider no companion, no luggage. An enigma among the carefree crowd. I wonder what they'd do if they knew who I am. Who I really am.

What is Liz running away from? Who is this woman my father married? Did he have any idea of what she was capable of?

My gaze fixates on the once-familiar house that now feels like a distant memory. I can hardly believe how much my life has changed and that Liz, the woman who puts the word wicked into stepmother has completely vanished.

But what she hasn't reckoned on is how hard I'm going to try to find her.

Awful accent

I enjoyed the story which linked together through the 3 books, however, the narrator had the most awful accent, I almost turned off multiple times.

Good story

Good story, 3 books for 1 credit so a bargain, the only issue I had was the Narrator voice was very irritating, I felt like slapping her about the face with a wet fish when she did Donna's voice lol. but I would still recommend.
