You Betrayed Me: A Chilling Novel of Gripping Psychological Suspense (The Cahills)
"The constant twists will keep the readers hooked. This is a nonstop thrill ride."
--Publishers Weekly
The Cahills of San Francisco are famous for two things: their vast wealth, and the scandals that surround them. Murder, greed, deadly ambition...some people will do anything to get, and keep, the Cahills' kind of money. Not that James Cahill wants any of it. He's tried to make his own way, less interested in a future inheritance than in his construction company--and in enjoying the many women taken in by the easy charms of a handsome, soon-to-be-rich bad boy.
"Jackson juices things up with plenty of sexy suspense and a generous amount of
high-octane thrills." -Booklist
Perhaps there've been too many women. Waking up in a small hospital in Washington State, bandaged and bruised, James barely recognizes the gorgeous blonde who comes to visit. Through the haze of pain and medication, he recalls that she is Sophia, the woman he's been cheating with. Gradually memories return--his girlfriend, Megan, had found out about Sophia. Now Megan is missing, her sister is hounding him--and police and reporters are asking questions. James insists he has no idea what happened. Yet he can't escape a feeling of dread...
"A good mystery that keeps readers guessing until the very end."
--The Parkersburg News & Sentinel
Meanwhile, in a locked room, a woman waits, trapped, petrified, desperate. She thought she knew who to trust. But the betrayal you can't imagine--or can't remember--may be the most terrifying weapon
of all...

This crazy Cahill Family is just a magnet for drama, lies, murder and death!! I had my suspects but was a little shocked when the truth was revealed. Very twisted thinking! Great read!! This is such a fabulous series! Read them all. I have.

It seemed there were too many women running around that it became confusing, but it was interesting not her best

This book was fantastic. I loved the twists and turns. Being an identical twin myself, I can attest to the complexity of twinship. You twin can be your bestie or your worse enemy. Each personality distinct, but at times quite similar. Each person striving to dominate simultaneously. Julia and Sophia were two halves of the same coin. An interesting study for the "nurture vs nature" theory of how twins can be reared apart, but still be inherently alike. The Cahill family is cursed. I must admit that struggled to feel compassion for James. I don't like people who go through life letting their lust overrule common sense and decency. I am not saying that he should have been set upon by greedy folks, rather his lack of restraint towards women and the setting of clear boundaries made him an easy target. Be clear are in an exclusive relationship or not. Then when it ends, it ends. I found two the police detectives characters very interesting. River's sixth sense definitely added a unique dimension to the story. Hopefully, they will make another appearance in the next book. Megan, nothing to say except karma can be a bitch. I think she had serious emotional issues. Rebecca, hum. I liked yet disliked her at the same time. I appreciated her commitment to Megan, but I felt like she had allowed her family, to taken advantage of her (including Megan). Never the less, she followed her instincts and dam, that girl didn't go down easy. This is the first book I have read in this series and I definitely will be reading the others.
It was a good book, lots and lots of repetition of facts. You knew how it was going to end early on. Not her usual good book. Mediocre.

Just like all of MS. Jackson' s books this one took my breath away to the very last page. She is one of my favorite thriller authors, thus a 5 star rating! Now breathlessly waiting for the next book to see what revenge Sophia will bring to her lover!!
