    This was definitely a good read. I couldn’t put the book down.. The suspense was everything. I read this whole book from start to finish. I have so far read 6 or 8 books by this author and this one was definitely different. She has done her thing once again. The ending was whew off the chain I wasn’t expecting that.

    A lot of twist and turns but I did figure out who the killer was before I read who it was. Kudos 👏 to Rylee she played her cards right guess SECRETS was in her & Raegans DNA lol. Todd was wicked but I didn't think he deserved to die. Great suspense story Lakisha.

    This book kept my heart beating irregularly. Very suspenseful. Forgetting vows made before God concerning cherishment of the husband/wife union can definitely cause forgetfulness and irrational behavior.

    THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD. I WAS HOOKED FROM PAGE ONE UNTIL THE LAST PAGE. I IMMEDIATELY LOVED RYLEE ALL THE WAY TO THE LAST PAGE BEFORE THE LAST PAGE. THAT LAST PAGE HAD ME FEELING SOME KIND OF WAY… REAL MIXED FEELINGS. ONE THING ABOUT RYLEE IS SHE STAYED TRUE TO CHARACTER UNTIL THE END BUT REALLY EVERYONE STAYED TRUE. THE ENDING WAS AN ENDING INDEED. THAT DAY IN THE KITCHEN RYLEE WAS SO COLD UNTIL SHE HAD TODD BEGGING HER NOT TO LEAVE HIM WHEN IT WAS HER WHO MESSED UP. OCTAVIA WAS A REAL TRIP. SHE WAS DEFINITELY OUT OF ORDER.. TODD WAS LIKABLE BUT HE WAS WEAK. HE COULD NOT HANDLE OCTAVIA AND HER ADVANCES. THAT ROMAN WAS A TRIP. ALSO THERE WERE ERRORS IN THIS BOOK. ONE WAS ROMAN’S NAME WAS SPELLED DIFFERENT THROUGHOUT THE BOOK. I HAVE TO END MY REVIEW HERE BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO SAY TOO MUCH. ALL I CAN SAY IS YES YES YES I SUGGEST THIS BOOK.

    🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘ONE MAJOR FLAW IN THIS BOOK THAT DROVE ME ABSOLUTELY CRAZY WAS THE AUTHOR USING THE WORD (YEA) INSTEAD OF YEAH. BECAUSE SHE DID USE YEAH SOME THAT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT EVERY TIME SHE USED YEA IT WAS AN ERROR AND IF THAT IS THE CASE THERE WERE A WHOLE LOT OF ERRORS AND IF THAT WASN'T THE CASE THAT WAS JUST HORRIBLE🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘

    RYLEE- A WOMAN ON A MISSION

    TODD- A MAN WHO NEEDS TO PRAY FOR STRENGTH OR ANYTHING JUST PRAY.

    OCTAVIA- A WOMAN WHO NEEDS TO KNOW SHE IS INVINCIBLE.

    RAMON\ROMAN- A MAN WHO IS A THREAT TO SOCIETY.

    COVER- 5
    TITLE- 10
    STORY-10

    MORAL: THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE OR KILL YOU IN THE PROCESS. LITERALLY

    I choose three stars for the length of the book, the plot and trying to keep up with the story. The end was a big shock which is a good surprise. I had keep up with the characters in the book and I thought maybe I missed one but it was brought later who was the character. I would recommend this book if you're interested in reading a short story.
