About this listen

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Shanora Williams comes a tale of revenge served ice cold - and a warning to be careful what you scheme for....

A brutal tragedy ended Ivy Hill’s happy family and childhood. Now in her 20s and severely troubled, she barely has a life - or much to live for. Until the day she discovers the name of the woman who destroyed her world: Lola Maxwell - the mega-wealthy socialite with a heart, Miami’s beloved “first lady” of charity. Accomplished, gorgeous, and oh-so-caring, Lola has the best of everything - and doesn’t deserve any of it. So it’s only right that Ivy take it all away....

Little by little, Ivy infiltrates Lola’s elite circle, becomes her new best friend - and plays Lola’s envious acquaintances and hangers-on against her. But seducing Lola’s handsome, devoted surgeon husband turns into a passionate dream Ivy suddenly can’t control. And soon, an insidious someone will twist Ivy’s revenge into a nightmare of deception, secrets, and betrayal that Ivy may not wake up from....

Ending was a bit weak but overall story well planned and well narrated. I would have preferred an alternative ending

The twist

Wow. This story was wild! 😳

The ending was kinda spoiled because I listened to 'The Wife Before' and it gave away some of the plot, so I was waiting for that part of the story to happen. Still, saying all of that, this story was still captivating...

Ivy has a plan. At least she thinks she does 🤔 She wants revenge, but can she see it through? 👀

Narrators we're excellent! 👏👏👏

I need a part 2 to this story!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BUT READ *BEFORE* 'THE WIFE BEFORE'!!
