Book Overview

"There's no better escape than one of Lizzy Barber's smart, seductive thrillers. She'll hook you with an intriguing mystery, but she'll keep you up with her fabulous characters, with all of their weaknesses, spite and charisma."
- Abigail Dean, bestselling author of Girl A

From the Richard & Judy best-selling author of Out of Her Depth comes a thrilling ride about identity, manipulation, and our desperate desire to belong.

You can run, but the past is never far behind...

Once, Beth was a different person, convinced she was living her dream life with the enigmatic wellness group, Elixir. But when that dream became a nightmare, she had no choice but to run, no matter what - or who - stood in her way.

Ten years later, exhausted and struggling with the pressures of motherhood, she receives a mysterious letter bearing only the infinity symbol, and knows immediately it is from them.

The past she'd run from has finally caught up with her, and the secrets she's tried so hard to hide will soon be uncovered. Can she finally escape them for good, or will her freedom pay the ultimate price?

If wellness is the new religion, what happens when it's taken too far?

Crazy wild!

May I never be drawn into a cult! There is certainly something fascinating in reading the tale of someone else who falls victim to the insidiousness of cults, especially as I can see how effective the draws are! This is a wonderfully twisty and scary dark story of Beth, once a member of Elixir (brought in by Marissa) and a willing participant to the whims of the oh so charismatic Tate, leader of the popular business of Elixir. Jumping back and forth in time telling the story of how she was drawn in and how she got out and is trying to live a new life far away from the sunny shores of California. But of course it wouldn't be that easy and so it was a wild ride with Beth, trying to figure out about mysterious notes sent and possible people following, especially stressful as she is a new mother (which also ramps up the tension!). The two times weave together well for a crazy wild climax and it was really hard to put down until I got to the end (which has it's own oh no twist). A crazy wild twisty read that sadly sounds totally plausible (and has kind of happened not too long ago) that I really enjoyed reading for its unputdownable story and I would definitely call it a winner!
