The Scam: The page-turning revenge thriller from Evie Hunter Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 1,232 ratings

The gripping new revenge thriller from the bestselling author of The Sting and The Trap

No one can be trusted….

Amongst the wealth and glitter of St Tropez, Sky Kennedy is living her best life, with the perfect man by her side. Rich and gorgeous, Karim has shown her a world she could have barely imagined, and she doesn’t want it to end.

So when Karim suddenly sends her packing back to the UK, Sky is shocked - what could she have done to upset Karim? And will she ever see him again?

Ryan Callahan has been tracking Karim for years and will do anything to bring the man down. He knows Karim is using Sky for his own ends and can’t believe another young woman has fallen for Karim’s lies. But maybe Sky could be the perfect bait to snare Karim once and for all…

But Sky’s no fool and she won’t be played by either man. Because maybe there is a twist in this tale that no one saw coming…

A page-turning revenge thriller that fans of Gemma Rogers will love!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Roller coaster ride
    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2022
    The Scam is a classic crime mystery thriller, with unconventional romance thrown in for good measure! On the one hand, Sky is drawn to Karim–Sky has always felt like she’s a bit of a wallflower in her life, and she’s over the moon that Karim has looked past that, making her feel as though she’s the most important woman in the entire world. But then there’s Ryan, a man who threatens the potential Sky has with Karim, yet there’s something about Ryan that Sky can’t help but feel attracted to. It was interesting to see the contrasting emotions Sky develops towards Karim and Ryan both, for different reasons.

    When Sky does whatever it takes to find out the ultimate truth about Karim and what he’s hiding, it was suspenseful and made me nervous. I wasn’t sure what might happen to Sky in the process of that, or if she’d even be able to pull it off. Particularly with the scenes where Sky and Karim communicate, I wondered if she might give something away, and what that would mean for her safety. Ryan is there as her net of sorts, but I always felt a heightened sense of unease when Sky and Karim were together. Knowing what Sky is thinking and hearing about the experiences from her own perspective only added to that unease.

    There were a few twists and turns within The Scam. One such twist felt like it had completely come out of left field when dealing with familial matters for Sky. I did not see that coming! But, it made sense and threaded in nicely with the storyline and highlighted why Sky ended up in the predicament she finds herself in.

    Will Sky see past Karim’s indiscretions, or will she side with Ryan? And what is Sky hiding? It was a roller coaster ride from start to finish, a definite five-star experience!

    4.0 out of 5 stars If it's too good to be true...
    Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2022
    Sky is used to being outshined by her confident and attractive roommate, so when the handsome entrepreneur at the nightclub chooses her over Nancy, she is constantly questioning why. After a trip to St. Tropez, the relationship starts to fall apart as Sky begins to question why Karim had to leave so fast, and why he hasn't called or texted.

    This is where the book went in a different direction than I expected when it becomes evident Karim is being surveilled by a special ops team charged with ferreting out a group of extremists that Karim is part of. However, Karim wants to leave the group, and Sky might be his ticket out.

    While I don't normally read books about this type of espionage, the way the story unraveled was intriguing and I loved that Sky had ulterior motives of her own. The story made much more sense as the pieces fell into place.

    Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an advance reader's copy.

    POV ~ multiple 3rd
    Featuring ~ a scammer (duh), revenge, terrorism, references to r@pe and pregnancy loss

    Sky is having a lovely time with Karim until he starts acting weird. Ryan has been trying to take down Karim for ages and convinces Sky to help him out.

    I'm in the middle of the road because there's a lot going on with this one ~ scamming, double crossing, a plan to take down the POTUS, espionage and a bit of romance. There are not many characters to like, but all of it comes together fine and the pace stayed pretty steady throughout. Obviously I'm not super big on the whole Uncle (mother's brother) who takes advantage of his niece plot, but in the end it helped bring the story around the bend.

    This is my first experience with this author duo and I'd probably give them another try sometime.

    I was able to listen to an audio copy too.
    Narration notes ~ she did a fine job.

    *Thanks to the author, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*

    3.0 out of 5 stars ending was rushed
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2023
    I was enjoying the plot and characters of this book, but the last 50 pages felt so rushed. I think the author should consider a serious rewrite. There was so much potential for the ending, but the main character made zero sense in the end with her choices. The details revealed of the whole mystery seemed so tacky and unoriginal.

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to read this book as, on my kindle, it had several pages missing - a message came up saying it had not been possible to load the page. I tried to ignore this the first two times but by the third I gave up as it wasn't possible to follow the story. I've been using a kindle since they very first came out and have never had this problem before with any of the devices I've had or books I've bought. It's a shame but I couldn't carry on.
