Plot
Filled with twists and turns and a long road of revenge. It was great to see the different POVs of Frances as Libby and Frances as Frances. Ryan did a great job showing the torturing effect this horrific event had on Frances ' life and why it was so important for her to get revenge. To take down the powerful family, Senator Wells and his son, Grey. For Frances playing the part is only half the battle.
All in All
I loved this book. It is not only a story of revenge. It is a story of facing your nightmares, discovering the demons and letting them no longer rule over your dreams. I loved how it was written.The point of view of waring one of Libby and Frances, one loving the boy who is lying about the Persephone, and one hating him so much for the killing of her friend and family. I highly recommend this book for people who are interested in a good story of revenge, love and second chances.
