I have my dream job,
With a nightmare boss.

At first, Nicole Barret seemed to be the perfect boss.

I was dead wrong.

It gets worse when I find out my husband knows her all too well. She's his ex-fiancé .

She won’t let me quit without destroying my career and my marriage.

It wasn’t a coincidence that she hired me.

It won’t be a coincidence if I disappear.


My Thoughts

I was utterly engrossed in this book. The characters were so well-developed and relatable, and the way the story unfolded kept me on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating what would happen next. I was so invested in their journey and couldn’t help but feel a rollercoaster of emotions as I followed along.

The book’s pacing was perfect, with each chapter revealing new twists and turns that kept me hooked and unable to put it down. I found myself reading well into the night, unable to resist the story’s allure. It was like being transported to another world, where time ceased to exist, and I was fully immersed in the characters’ lives.

And oh, the ending! It left me speechless and in awe. The way everything came together was satisfying and surprising, tying up loose ends and leaving me with closure. But at the same time, it left me yearning for more, wondering what could happen next in the lives of these characters that had become so dear to me.

Even after finishing the book, I think about it and relive the emotions it evoked. It’s a testament to the author’s skill that they created such a captivating and unforgettable story. I can confidently say that this is one of the best books I have read by Caine, and I eagerly await his next masterpiece.

Thank you to Booksprout and the author for allowing me to read and review this book.

About James Caine

James Caine loves psychological thrillers. When not writing or reading a thriller, he’s watching one. His wife is sick of it. To make up for it, James regrettably agreed to watch a Romantic Comedy for every thriller his partner enjoys with him.

James Caine is mysterious since this is not his real identity, but a pen name. James was his alternate name when volunteering at a suicide hotline. Caine derived from a fictional villain in one of his stories. He asks that you not psychoanalyze that last part.

James Caine lives with his Queen and two young Princes in Alberta, Canada. He also cares for his fur ball companion, Ruby.

My Thoughts

This book truly encapsulates the essence of Old Hollywood, delving into the glamorous yet dark world of true crime and mobsters.
