**I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review**

This book is all about lies and deceit and I absolutely loved it! Brilliantly written!

Allison is our main character. She married her hubby Peter, 3 months ago, and by doing so is hoping for a better life. Her good friend is Portia whose husband, Stuart, is well off and super creepy and I can't forget to mention her newest online friend Jo, whom they have so much in common it's scary. Sounds like a normal life, right?

As the story begins to unravels things start to fall apart and aren't as they seem. Isn't that always the way?

The suspense really built up throughout the book and it was such a page turner leaving you on the edge of your seat!

This is a must read for any psychological thriller lover.

This is my first book from Valerie and can't wait to read the Lodger!
