Description
SOMETIMES ONLY A THRILLER WILL DO. PICK UP SOMETHING YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT DOWN . . . NOTHING IS DEADLIER THAN TRUE LOVE...
NOTHING IS DEADLIER THAN TRUE LOVE...
Wes and Ivy are madly in love. It's the kind of romance people write stories about. But what kind of story?
Because when it's good, it's very very good. But when it's bad, it's bad.
But their breakneck cycle of catastrophic vengeful break-ups and head-over-heels reconnections needs to end fast. Because suddenly, Wes and Ivy have a common enemy - and she's a detective.
One wrong move will be fatal - so if Wes and Ivy can't stick together, this break-up might just be their last.
Praise for Samantha Downing

'A twisty, audacious, Gone Girl-y psychological thriller. The book that everyone is going to be talking about' Red
'Dark, shocking and very witty, this wickedly good read will make you run screaming from the suburbs' Heat

Reviews / Votes
A fast-paced, addictive thriller full of secrets and lies. She's hit the sweet spot again * Heat * This story about a toxic relationship spiralling out of control is dazzlingly, deliciously dark - and enormous fun -- JP Delaney Wicked and wild, seductive and sinister. A Twisted Love Story is beach read fun, up all night gripping, disturbingly dark and satisfyingly clever. -- Chris Whitaker Toxic relationships, dark deeds, and a cast of unreliable narrators. All the best ingredients for a deliciously disturbing read. Twisted indeed. -- Alice Feeney I love Samantha Downing's thrillers and this one is an absolute gem. Deliciously addictive, constantly surprising and, as the title would suggest, thoroughly twisted. You'll devour it. -- B.P. Walter A deliciously clever thriller. I love Samantha Downing's books...If you haven't experienced the pleasure of reading her work, don't wait -- Sylvia Day PRAISE FOR SAMANTHA DOWNING -- : Wonderfully dark and twisty. I raced through it, desperate to know how it would end -- B.A. Paris A genuinely fresh take on the psychological thriller genre. Expect dark humour and more loop-the-loops than a roller coaster * Good Housekeeping * Dexter meets Gone Girl - I loved this this brilliantly dark and twisted novel. One of the best books I've read this year! -- C.J. TudorMore details
