Welcome to the neighborhood. Watch your husband, watch your friends, and watch your back.

Cat Winthorpe has worked hard to get what she has: a gorgeous home; social standing; and William, her successful, handsome husband. Then a friendly new couple moves into the estate next door. While cautious, a good neighbor like Cat greets them with open arms and warm hospitality.

Neena Ryder isn’t a fellow lady of leisure. A life coach with off-the-rack dresses, personal issues, and a husband who hasn’t delivered, she’s anxious to move up in the world. This beautiful new town is a step in the right direction. It’s also making Neena aware of what she doesn’t have. Namely, William. When Neena’s infatuation escalates into obsession, it’s just a matter of eliminating a few obstacles to get the life she wants. The life next door.

As Neena’s secret fixation grows, so does her friendship with Cat. But beneath their cordial interactions is a wealth of temptations, secrets, and toxic jealousy. For both women, the desire for a perfect life can turn perfectly dangerous.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

My Rating: 4 Stars
Genre Domestic Thriller

How do you turn a novel with unlikable characters into a winner? Have Alessandra Torre write it! This book totally consumed me. It’s twisty, thrilling, anxiety inducing, dramatic, and scandalous. It’s so many things wrapped into a beautiful bundle of pages and I enjoyed the heck out of it. There were times I was worried I would hate it (the characters are all freakin NUTS) but I think the climax was so unique that it turned my frown upside down. Honestly, it truly changed my views on the book as a whole so I implore readers to continue even though they may hate all of the characters.

I don’t want to spoil the novel for everyone, but this book DOES touch upon some sensitive issues that readers may not like. If you don’t want to be spoiled in terms of key plot points, then don’t read any more of my review. 🚫 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗔𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗗 🚫

▶ The plot basically surrounds cheating within the characters marriage. I know this is a hard issue for some readers, so I wanted you to know beforehand that all the conflict DOES surround cheating. If this is a hard limit for you, then you may want to stay away from this one. Now, the infidelity isn’t overly described within the book and we only get a small peek at it when it happens, but the plot does surge BECAUSE of the incident. It pissed me right the hell off, but I love how Alessandra charged this book. It’s insanely good!

▶ Revenge is a big theme in this book and while you may hate some of the characters actions (like the infidelity and the psychotic behavior of one of the characters whom I won’t name) Alessandra really does it justice. It’s so twisted and scandalous! I almost wanted to jump with joy because of how well it all played out!

𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗦
All in all, I really enjoyed Every Last Secret by Alessandra Torre. She can write a mean thriller or a juicy romance and still slay it. That’s been proven time and again. I may prefer her thrillers though 😉 If you’re looking for a twisted read filled with the ultimate revenge then I highly recommend giving this one a try! The only reason I gave this 4 out of 5 stars is because the characters weren’t my favorite. The plot certainly stole the show though despite my distaste for them!
