When Nicole gets bad news at work and in her personal life, an email in her inbox catches her attention. It's inviting her to join a private women's organization that will help her get a leg up in the world, "just like men have been doing for years," according to it's founders. She attends an exclusive retreat and makes friends with the women in her new "Pride," and everything goes well for awhile. Then, things begin to take a dark turn and Nicole wonders if the organization she joined is less of a networking organization and more of a cult.
I finished this one in about two days I think. This book really throws you right into the middle of the action right from the beginning of the story. I was super intrigued and wanted to know what was going on, so I dove right into the book and it never really let up, so I just kept going! I couldn't stop! There's so many twists and turns that I think I got a little bit of whiplash trying to follow everything. But it was really good!
This is one of those books that will give you chills as you finish it and leave you thinking about it after you finish it, wondering how things turn out. I don't want to give anything away, but there's a bit of an open-endedness that makes you wonder how things go off into the future. I was definitely creeped out a little as I finished up.
There's also some good commentary to be made about revenge and how far you should take things - how far is too far? What does justice mean? I like books that make you think like that.
Overall, this is a great new release for 2022! Definitely one to put on your list!
