About this listen

Just as nature evolves to protect itself against predators, a woman grows into a deadly force. Elyse Santiago seeks a fresh start far from the traumas of her past in Miami and ventures to Los Angeles. There, she cultivates a social media persona and shares lessons on life and nature from her garden. Yet, behind her smile she’s haunted by the voice of her childhood abuser—a ghost from her past she thought she’d silenced forever. Surviving on her own in Los Angeles proves challenging for Elyse. She’s broke and unemployed when her path crosses with Ben, a handsome Hollywood attorney at a top talent agency.

As they collaborate professionally, an undeniable attraction blossoms. But, Ben is trapped in an abusive marriage with Ana, the daughter of his powerful boss. Escaping Ana’s grasp threatens to destroy Ben’s life, endangering his career, lifestyle, and reputation. For Elyse, no moral boundary or personal risk can deter her from claiming Ben entirely as her own. As they grow closer, the very foundation of their lives begins to shift, entwining them in a web of passion, betrayal, and murder.

Gripping thriller

I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I found the dual narration to really help the story flow; they worked so well together, giving a vivid visual of the story and, despite the heavy subject matter, making this a really easy listen.

The story itself was tense and gripping, which is everything you want in a thriller. Full of love and obsession, betrayal and violence, friendship and loyalty, this story had it all.

I loved how developed and well rounded the protagonists’ characters were, with clear motives and method in their actions, strengthened by their difficult and harrowing histories.

I would definitely recommend this one, but do suggest checking out the trigger warnings before going in!
