As seen on the TODAY show as “a perfect beach read.”Three lifelong friends plus a dangerous, sexy new stranger in town add up to a scorching summer of manipulation, obsession, and murder, from the acclaimed author of The Hunting Wives. A woman in the forest thinks she’s going to die. I know he’s coming back for me. Jen Hansen, Kittie Spears, and Cynthia Nichols have been friends since childhood. They are now approaching forty and their lives have changed, but their insular East Texas town has not. They stay sane by drinking wine in the afternoons, dishing about other women in the neighborhood, and bonding over the heartache of their own encroaching middle age and raising ungrateful teens. Then Will Harding comes to town, moving into one of the neighborhood’s grandest homes. Mysterious and charming, he seems like the answer to each woman’s prayers. He’s a source of fascination for Jen, Kittie, and Cynthia, but none of them are ready for the way Will disrupts their lives. As Will grows closer with each of the women, their fascination twists into obsession, threatening their friendships and their families. When he abruptly pulls away, each woman scrambles to discover the source of his affection. But what they’ll uncover is far more sinister and deadly than any of them could have ever imagined.

"Ohhhhhhhh my god. Holy **** thus book was WILD!! So so different from the sorts of books I’ve been picking up recently and it was a VERY welcome change of pace. I truly hated all of the characters but I think that was the point. This book was sexy and thrilling and I was so hooked. 10/10. I’ll definitely be looking for more books by Cobb! "
"I could not stand this book. The shallowness, the backstabbing, the inability to think, and the horrible relationships. Nope. I even finished it just to make sure it didn’t have a redeeming moment. It didn’t. "

"The women in this book are an insult to women everywhere. They make completely unbelievable and stupid decisions. I was disgusted that a woman author would write her female characters as weak, insecure, and completely idiotic."

"This book was AWFUL! Like a bad Lifetime movie met Fifty Shades. So stupid and filled with ugliness. "

"3.5 really but I rounded up to 4 because I could not put this one down. Then ending- meh."

"I wish there were Half Stars because I would rate this 3.5! It was good. Maybe a little predictable, but kept me intrigued."
