About this listen

From multi-million copy seller, K. L. Slater comes another breath-taking thriller, narrated by Claudia Jessie (star of Bridgerton & Line of Duty)

All she has to do is pretend to be his girlfriend…

Alicia has left her young son and sister to chase a better life in London. But she’s not just chasing opportunity, she’s running from the truth.

At the Orbit, an elite enclave towering above the city where the great and the good come to play, Alicia waits tables, watching everything.

When the charismatic owner of The Orbit offers her a deal - pretend to be her girlfriend in return for a salary and an apartment - Alicia accepts. After all, it’s only pretend … until it’s not.

Soon, Alicia is living the life she’s always dreamed of — but behind the flawless façade, something is deeply wrong and some deals cannot be broken. As her past begins to creep towards her, Alicia thought she was the only one playing a game.

It turns out she wasn’t alone…

Really enjoy Kim’s work & this one didn’t disappoint. Good storyline & plot twists - got me hooked from the start.

Ps Only complaint is that trains from Nottingham don’t go to King Cross, they go to St Pancras - I live in Chesterfield & worked in London a lot so know the route well!! 😊

Gripping to the end

Massive KL slater fan listened to all her books my daughter reads her books. This book however didn’t seem like her there wasn’t the usual twists and turns usually just when u think you’ve guessed she lets u know ur wrong and sends it down a different path. Enjoyed it but very calm and tame storyline for her I’m usually gripped to every word .

Absolutely love K L Slater

Fantastic book

Good narration but this style of writing a story irritates the living daylights out of me. By that I mean when the whole premise of the story is hinted at rather than knowing from the outset what the mystery is all about. Rant over. I didn’t finish, really didn’t care why the main character was doing what she was doing.

Irritating

I like that you didn’t know which way it was going to turn out and it keeps you guessing right to the end
