WHAT GOES AROUND by Rachel Ellyn -psychological thriller
The ink is just about touch dry on Alice’s divorce settlement and her bank balance has
been nicely enhanced. Married for twenty eight years to a selfish, self centred,
controlling workaholic she feels justified in having taken herself on a luxurious holiday
to Nanm Paradi. This is no ordinary destination, this is paradise where magic is worked.
Alice is amazed at the understanding and knowledge of the staff, of how they appear
to know her situation and troubles, but then again they have seen it all before many,
many times. When she buys a trinket having been told to visit a shop that will sort out
her troubles she is sceptical that it is a voodoo doll but the thought makes her smile
and it eases some of the tension. When she discovers her ex has had an accident
could this be coincidence or something else at work? When he appears at the resort
with his new younger partner battle commences. Ooh! I loved this- it made me
smile. A woman scorned is no trifle to deal with as we all know- or have read
about. For those having gone through a break up, there will be that understanding.
This is a novella (120 pages) that I devoured in an evening. An excellent plot, a
little romance and many many smiles.

Book Blurb: Alice has been playing the perfect Southern wife for over twenty-five years. So when Bob
dumps her for some blonde bimbo twenty years her junior, Alice figures she's entitled to
every dollar she can bleed from him. And, once she's got the money, she's entitled to use
it on a much-needed vacation to Nanm Paradi, a Caribbean resort that sells itself as her
"soul's paradise". She's never experienced anything as luxurious as Nanm Paradi. The staff know her every
desire and cater to her every need before she even knows she needs it. She figures this
is how the really rich live and she's ready to take advantage of all of it--the fabulous
drinks, the beautiful views, and the handsome men. And when she discovers that
voodoo magic is also on offer... well, Bob hurt her bad. She can take some time away
from paradise to exact a little pain. Alice would have been happy to leave things at that. But when she gets hit where it hurts--her bank account--Alice's game changes. It's no
longer about post-divorce romance. Now it's about revenge. What Goes Around is a little bit thriller, a little bit witchy, a little bit romance, and
a whole lot of sass.
About Rachel Ellyn:
Life and loves after the career.
With degrees in Finance and Economics, Rachel found wonderful success in the business
world, which took her I.T. and financial process consulting international. However, with
her mind focused on business, and with the lack of training and mentoring in her
personal life, marriage success eluded her. After foraging on a path of self-awareness and exploration with a determination to
avoid repeating patterns again, she found the key to relationship bliss. Now, combining
her passion for writing and storytelling with her skills, knowledge, and drive that led to
her business acclaim, Rachel shares her off beat take on the world, and her findings
where life, love, divorce, and children are concerned. Rachel is determined to be a publicist's nightmare by writing in multiple genres
including children’s fiction, flash fiction, romance, and suspense/thriller. After multiple divorces, she is now happily married and lives in the Kansas City
Metropolitan area enjoying the household noise of her soon-to-be empty nest.
