From New York Times and USA Today bestselling 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 twenties 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 . . .

Wow! The Perfect Ruin was exactly the kind of book I didn’t know I was looking for. I’m mostly a romance reader, but also like to venture into other genres from time to time. Shanora Williams being one of my favorite authors, it was a no brainer that I was expecting great things from this thriller. The plot was really interesting and the twists surprising. The writing was a so different, yet refreshing: the main heroine Ivy describing the action as a letter to her therapist. She was such a difficult protagonist to connect with at first, but I couldn't help being invested in the action happening, even if she was clearly mentally unstable. Her only focus was set on her revenge plan to the point she appeared apathetic. I so wasn’t expecting the big twist toward the end and was completely flabbergasted by it! If you're looking for a read that will keep you on the edge of your seat, don’t look too far and try The Perfect Ruin. The ending is still open and I feel like a sequel should be written.
