Thriller Psychological
A psychological thriller that has you feeling sorry for the
main character at times and in shock with her at others, THE
SPITE GAME will have you looking at intimidations in a whole
new way. Anna Snoeksta gives another light on the bully and
hurtful games that one might play. She also sheds the light
on how one can get revenge even years later. Three girls who befriend Ava soon end up bullying her
through high school. At times they are sweet to her then
their true self shows. Ava finds that she does not know who
or what she can trust anymore. Years later she still cannot
let go of the hurt that they cause and the betrayal that she
felt. She starts with Saanvi and sets out to destroy her
life. Then there is Cass who is about to be married. Her
payback to her is one that can destroy her new marriage.
Last and finally is Mel the ringleader of the bunch. She
will pay dearly. THE SPITE GAME by Anna Snoeksta is one thriller that you
will find yourself finishing quickly as you will have a hard
time putting it down. A remarkable novel with many different
turns. The suspense alone will have you at the edge.
Snoeksta covers the story between the present and the past
throughout the book without losing the reader. I must say I
did not see what was to come at the end. I recommend THE
SPITE GAME to any reader of psychological thrillers.
SUMMARY
Everyone does bad things when no one is watching Mercilessly bullied in high school, Ava knows she needs to
put the past behind her and move on, but she can’t—not until
she’s exacted precise, catastrophic revenge on the people
who hurt her the most. First, she watches Saanvi. Flawlessly chic and working hard
at a top architectural firm, Saanvi has it all together on
the surface. But everyone does bad things when they think no
one is watching and Ava only wants what’s fair—to destroy
Saanvi’s life the way her own was destroyed. Next, she watches Cass. She’s there as Cass tries on wedding
dresses, she’s there when Cass picks out a cake, she’s there
when Cass betrays her fiancé. She’s the reason Cass’s entire
future comes crashing down. Finally, Ava watches Mel. Mel was always the ringleader and
if anyone has to pay, it’s her. But one tiny slipup and Ava
realizes the truth: Mel knows she’s being watched, and she’s
ready to play Ava’s games to the bitter end.
