Two brothers -- Will and Jeff -- and their friend Tom are out one night at their favorite South Beach bar, the Wild Zone, and decide to make a bet on who can be the first to seduce a mysterious-looking young woman drinking by herself. Pretty, dark-haired, blue-eyed Suzy has an innocent, almost ordinary girl-next-door way about her. Little do the friends know that their harmless bet is about to take on a life of its own, a life full of deadly consequences for all concerned.

Add a Comment"Like so many bad ideas, it all begins at a bar. An attractive young woman has captured the attention of three men - charismatic, buff Jeff, his shy half-brother Will, and Jeff's best friend, Tom - and they've decided to place a bet on who can bed her first. Though she picks Will for a date, the situation soon turns nightmarish, with consequences not just for Will but also for Tom, who's a dishonorably discharged veteran with some serious anger issues. Shifting perspectives and a quick pace will keep you reading as the male characters' histories are slowly revealed and events come to a head."

The first chapter started off slow but then I couldn't put the book down. Unpredictable ending. I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed this mystery, especially the character development. Some were clearly good and evil, but most started off - as many of us do - with the potential to be either - or both.
Nice twist at the end too.
