Synopses & Reviews
A delicious tale of revenge and identity from Carrie Ryan, the bestselling author of
The Forest of Hands and Teeth In the wake of the deadly devastation of luxury yacht Persephone, just three souls remain to tell its story and two of them are lying. Only Frances Mace, rescued from the ocean after torturous days adrift with her dying friend Libby, knows that the Persephone wasn't sunk by a rogue wave as survivors Senator Wells and his son are claiming it was attacked.
To ensure her safety from the obviously dangerous and very powerful Wells family, Libby's father helps newly orphaned Frances assume Libby's identity. Frances has spent years in hiding, transforming herself into Libby, and she can no longer allow the people who murdered her entire family and Libby to get away with it. After years of careful plotting, shes ready to set her revenge plans into motion even if it means taking down the boy shed once been in love with: the senators son.
The game has just begun, and Frances is not only playing dirty, she's playing to win.
Review
"A perceptive, contrapuntal character study with a light thriller flavor—utterly compelling."
Review
"Layered and exquisitely written...Actions have real consequences in Rosenfield’s novel, and her suffocating small town setting is powerfully and chillingly evoked."
