Suddenly, Hannah is the one to watch in the New York art scene. And someone is watching. Someone who knows the truth about Hannah’s mysterious muse.

A perfect, quick, fun thriller!

I’m currently in between audiobooks and can’t decide what to go to next. This was the perfect break in between longer, heavier literary reads. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Exciting and thought provoking

I thoroughly enjoyed this fast paced story that digs into our ambition and creativity. And a brutal twist!

Fun,Quick Read!!

Loved it, I wish it was longer! Great story and nice twists!! Definitely worth the listen!! can't wait for next book from Lauren!

Ridiculous

The ending hinges on one MASSIVE plot hole that doesn't make any sense. Narrator is melodramatic and reads super slowly.

Giving this two stars as the writing isn't bad.
