I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

On The Edge by Aleathea Romig, gives an inside look into the lives of the members of the Woodland Cliffs Country Club, its owners and employees. The author created a web of secrets, lies and murder designed to keep the reader turning the pages while holding on to the edge of their seat. 

SUMMARY

Rae Watson needs to earn additional funds to pay her rent and her college tuition. The offer to work at the Woodland Cliffs Country Club came at the most opportune time. Her best friend felt it may be Risky seeing that a woman died there a year ago under mysterious circumstances. However, Rae refused to allow an incident that was ruled as an accident to prevent her from earning the much-needed funds and so she accepted the job offer. Soon she will learn things are not always what they seem.

REVIEW
On the Edge was an interesting read. It grabbed me from the first page and refused to let go until the moment it took me to the edge and left me hanging. Marketed as a standalone, but with an unbelievable ending, I think there must be a sequel in the making. There is no way Romig would leave her fans in such a state of wonderment.

I had my finger on the person responsible for the women who went missing and eventually turned up dead from early on. However, it did not take away from the suspense. I thought the mystery and the suspense were well done. It sure had me flipping the pages rapidly, needing to learn the outcome. And what an outcome indeed. Never expected it and I was disappointed with how it was all tied up. There are several lingering questions that desperately need answers.

Classified as a romantic thriller, On the Edge was very light on the romance. The couple featured (Rea and Frankie) rarely spent time together, as both were busy with work. Sadly, I had difficulties connecting with them as individuals and as a couple. The romance was meh. No chemistry and no real connection, it lacked credibility.

Told from several POVs, the story highlighted the abuse of power by the employers through the demands of sexual favors. It shows the sense of entitlement displayed by these said employers and also the owners.

Overall, On the Edge provided a suspenseful getaway into the world of the country club and its rich and entitled members.
