WOW, all I can say is WOW! This is one you definitely don't want to miss! B.A. Paris has done it again - this book was fantastic! Heart pounding, edge of my seat suspense that I couldn't put down. Leo and Alice have been long-distance partners and finally decide to take the leap and move in together in London. They are able to get a beautiful house in a gated community called The Circle in London. Shortly after moving in Alice is clued in that the untimely demise of a previous owner of the home wasn't as straightforward as it initially seemed. She tries to piece together the clues while attempting to break in to the tight knit friends group in the exclusive community.. The whole time, trying to figure out which one of them may be hiding something... This will keep you guessing until the end. I was sure multiple times that I had it figured out & boy was I wrong. Told in the voices of two characters, however, you don't know until the end who the second character is. If you liked 'Behind Closed Doors' - you will LOVE this one.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin Press and B.A. Paris for the gifted advance copy.

This was so quick-paced! I didn’t want to put it down (if it hadn’t been such a busy month for me, I probably wouldn’t have!) I love a story that keeps me guessing throughout it.

Alice and Leo move into a nice neighborhood with a past after months of dating long distance. Who can Alice trust in this area if she can’t trust her own boyfriend? Does Alice really know if someone is breaking into her home, is she delusional, or is somebody gaslighting her?

It was really easy to relate to Alice & I really liked how supportive Leo was despite the things he kept from her...thank you Goodreads for letting me have an ARC copy of this book to read & review.
