DESCRIPTION:
Revenge...It's all relative.
Born three minutes apart, Penny and Nix Albright grew up doing everything together, close as only twins can be. But when Nix dies in a tragic accident soon after college, she leaves behind a cryptic voicemail that has Penny guilt-ridden and desperate for justice.
Five Years Later
Penny has found new purpose as a rookie cop. She’s working to fulfill Nix’s dream of making the world a safer place, but following that dream becomes a nightmare when she’s called to her first murder scene. When she sees the victim, she knows him instantly. It’s Danny Bowery—one of three men she’s long blamed for Nix’s death—splayed in a pool of blood outside a posh Atlanta shopping center, almost as if she’d wished it so.
Stunned, Penny steps away to catch her breath and discovers a blonde in blood-drenched clothes gripping a box cutter. Before Penny can arrest her, the woman reveals that Bowery’s murder is part of a larger story that is far from over. A story about sisters. And with that, the killer disappears.
Now, Penny will stop at nothing to pursue this dangerous woman and learn why she’s avenging Nix’s death. The deeper she dives into the mystery, the less clear it becomes who is hunting whom in this captivating page-turner of hidden motives and deadly consequences.

MY THOUGHTS:
Penny’s entire existence has become a relentless pursuit of revenge. The murder of her twin sister, Nix, has left an indelible scar on her soul, and five long years have passed since that fateful day. Despite her becoming a police officer, Penny’s path is anything but law-abiding. One of the first crime scenes she attends is that of a victim she instantly recognizes. This victim is one of the men Penny has been tirelessly searching for ever since Nix’s murder. She is certain that he is one of the men responsible for her sister’s murder, and she is determined to prove it, no matter the cost.
Penny’s journey is a tale of love, loyalty, and obsession. Her unwavering devotion to Nix is evident, and she demonstrates her commitment in various ways. However, her obsession ultimately overshadows her judgment, leading to a series of unfortunate decisions. The audiobook, narrated by the author, captures the intensity and tension of the story, making it an immersive and captivating experience.
Many thanks to William Morrow and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
A recent expat from the American South, she lives in a mildly haunted Victorian row house in upstate New York.
