Book Description:
A Woman Who Wants To Get Even... The first victim is pushed to her death. The second suffers a fatal overdose. The third takes a bullet to the heart. Three down, more to go. They're people who deserve to die. People who are in the way. And when she's finished, there will be no one left... Will Do Whatever It Takes For Revenge... Cissy Cahill's world is unraveling fast. One by one, members of her family are dying. Cissy's certain she's being watched. Or is she losing her mind? Lately she's heard footsteps when there's no one around, smelled a woman's perfume, and noticed small, personal items missing from her house. Cissy's right to be afraid - but not for the reason she thinks. The truth is much more terrifying... Including Murder... Hidden in the shadows of the Cahill family's twisted past is a shocking secret - a secret that will only be satisfied by blood. And Cissy must uncover the deadly truth before it's too late, because fear is coming home... with a vengeance...

I did not read "If She Only Knew" by this author, which was a prequel to this book. But it is interesting on its own. Seems rather predictable for the first half, then everything turns questionable, then unexpected. Good read.

This book was by far the best book I've read in a while. This book will keep yopu guessing until the end. This book revisits the Cahill family from Ms. Jackosn's 'If She Only Knew'. I have not read 'If She Only Knew' and did not have any difficulties following this book.

Strange things have been happening to Cissy Cahill ever since her mother Marla (from Jackson's "If She Only Knew") escaped from prison. Three people have been murdered and now Cissy fears for the lives of those she cares about most, including estranged husband Jack and son B.J. As always, Jackson weaves a mysterious web with several red herrings throw in to keep you guessing til the end.

This is a great book! I really enjoy her books. You should read IF SHE ONLY KNEW before reading this one though! ShereeR.

Another Lisa Jackson thriller...I read it in two evenings!

This is the second worst book I have ever read in my entire life. The writing was so bad I had to shake my head in wonder every few pages, so surprised that a supposedly bestselling author could have so little talent. The mystery was slightly interesting but it was so dragged out that you just wanted the story to be over. I can honestly say this is some of the worst writing I have ever read outside of really bad harlequin romance novels. If you like that kind of book, you may like this, but I can't imagine how anyone can tolerate Lisa Jackson's syrupy and purple prose. It's so bad it's laughable. I think I should become a writer now because if this is bestselling fiction, I will probably be able to make millions writing crap like this.

I loved this book - kept you guessing right up until the end. I've read a lot of Lisa Jackson's books and she never fails to entertain.

WOW!!!!!!!! Lisa Jackson has done it again. One of the best that I have read of hers. It keeps you guessing, on who really is behind all the killing in Cissy's family. A must read.

Another great Lisa Jackson. The prequel to this one is If She Only Knew. Both are great.
Amanda B. (Not one of my favorite books by Lisa Jackson. I couldn't really get into it and you know who the killer is from the beginning so your really just reading to see how they go about captureing the killer and how it ends.
Marianne S. (This starts out very slow, introduces too many characters and tries to fake you into everyone being a potential killer. To me it is predictable, I don't want to give the end away but if you are an avid mystery reader you will see it a mile away, I haven't read too much by this author but if they are all written this way I am not too interested. Not a horrible read, but certainly not a page by page thriller.
Claudia K. (Cissy Cahill's family is being murdered, one by one. Lisa Jackson strings out an intriguing plot, giving you a little clue every now and then that makes you think you know what is "really" going on. More twists than a pretzel...you will enjoy this book. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Susan H. (I really enjoyed this book . . . wasn't sure at first because it seemed too "soft." But I found myself wondering about the mysteries that the author wove in her writing and kept reading to find out more. Fairly fast read, and very entertaining!
Another page turner by jackson. read this book. you wont be sorry
