Book Review: The Spite Game by Anna Snoekstra

Published: October 30th, 2018 Publisher: Harlequin-Mira Thank you to Harper Collins Canada, Mira Books and Harlequin for the free copy of this book to read and review. This was the first book I have read by Anna Snoekstra and I was definitely impressed. When I read the synopsis of this book I knew I just had to read it, as it sounds like the type of psychological thriller book that I would just love and devour. I was right! This book takes you on a journey with a woman named Ava. Bullied relentlessly and embarrassed to no end in high school, Ava exacts revenge on all her “friends” she had in high school who did her wrong and bullied her. Those 3 so-called friends are Saanvi, Cass, and Mel. She has tried to live her life and move on, forgetting about the torment she has been through at the hands of such “friends” but there is just one problem…. She can’t. Not until she pays each and everyone of them back for doing her wrong. Then, and maybe only then, can she move on and live her life. High school is now over. Years later, one by one, she is on a mission to get them back for all they have done to her. And get them back she does! She watches them live their lives, their daily routines, watches them at work, at home, out in public. They have no idea she is there in the shadows watching their every move. Ava is waiting for the perfect moment to exact her revenge on them all. Three words to describe this book – Lies, betrayal and revenge! This book pulled me in from the very first page. I was hooked! So much revenge, deceit, betrayal, lies, secrets, and games. I read this book is less than a day it was that good. I found the pages literally turning themselves as I wanted to know what would happen next. Was Ava obsessed with revenge? Yes! Did she sometimes go too far? Heck Yes! But that’s makes it all the more interesting to read and makes it such a gripping book. I loved it from cover to end. Well done! Wow! Fabulous book! Definitely a must read! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
