Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of six college friends who get together to have some fun and relax. They have always been the best of friends and it is a lifelong friendship to say the least. However I don’t think that anyone really on one particularly drunken night when everyone is relaxed and telling stories, expects the hostess to suggest they take their friendship to the next level by all agreeing to swapping spouses for the night. They all agree after long discussions, for their various reasons that this is a good idea. Things don’t go exactly like they should when long time feuds, jealousy and just craziness come in to play in the night. The next day though, no one ever expected to find one of the spouses brutally murdered. This sets into motion a series of events that are going to have you so hooked on this book you are not going to be able to put it down. There are twists and turns, unexpected revelations and enough who did it to keep you reading well into the night. This is one amazing book you do not want to miss.
Britney King lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, children, a dog named Gatsby, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a peach tree.
When she’s not wrangling the things mentioned above, she writes psychological, domestic and romantic thrillers set in suburbia.
Without a doubt, she thinks connecting with readers is the best part of this gig. You can find Britney online here:
