MY THOUGHTS:

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

“Oh, the tangled webs we weave…”

The creep factor just got creepier.  This is better than The Girlfriend, and I enjoyed that book!  I won’t give anything away since it is a thriller and the success of a thriller is ‘not knowing’ until it whomps you right between the eyes.  The Temp does just that.

If anything, and this is very minor, I’d reduce this book down by twenty-five to fifty pages for the burn to burn deeper and faster.  Otherwise, excellent work for this fairly new author.  Job well done!  Amazing plot, excellent twists and turns, fantastic character development, lovely thrills and spills and intrigue…

I gave this book:
