My Review: 5 STARS

Meet Jane Doe…

Things to know about Jane:

  1. She is pretending to be someone else (someone who is naive unlike her).
  2. She has self diagnosed herself as a socio-path and master manipulator.
  3. She has a plan of revenge and she is determined to carry it out.

Suspenseful and taunting. I never knew what to expect next. Jane was full of devious surprises at every turn! My feelings about her changed throughout the book. She was such a complex character who was always plotting and conniving. It is dark, but not graphic and full of twisty turns that will keep you wondering how far she will go. She surprised me.

If you enjoy edgy, straight up revenge thrillers, you might enjoy this one too. I listened to most of it on Audible, and read the last few chapters.  The ending was JUST PERFECT.

 

Book Description:

A double life with a single purpose: revenge.

Jane’s days at a Midwest insurance company are perfectly ordinary. She blends in well, unremarkably pretty in her floral-print dresses and extra efficient at her low-level job. She’s just the kind of woman middle manager Steven Hepsworth likes—meek, insecure, and willing to defer to a man. No one has any idea who Jane really is. Least of all Steven.

But plain Jane is hiding something. And Steven’s bringing out the worst in her.

Nothing can distract Jane from going straight for his heart: allowing herself to be seduced into Steven’s bed, to insinuate herself into his career and his family, and to expose all his dirty secrets. It’s time for Jane to dig out everything that matters to Steven. So she can take it all away.

Just as he did to her.
