  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

With an interesting start, this book slowed down quite a bit in the middle before coming back with a big plot twist. Using consistent characters across multiple timelines, Jennifer Hillier took us on the roller coaster ride of the main character's life, including a stint in prison. I do have a couple minor questions left unanswered but overall, I would recommend this book to anyone without sensitivities for light s3x scenes and r@pe.

Very well written, dark, graphic, messed up.
I didn't want to put it down until I finished this book.

SYNOPSIS
  • Georgina (Geo), Angela, & Kaiser are best friends in high school. When Geo starts dating an older guy named Calvin, the dynamics in the group change. One day, Angela disappears.
  • After fourteen years, Geo is a successful executive at a pharmaceutical company & engaged to a rich dude. When Angela’s body is found, Geo is arrested on murder charges by Kaiser, who is now a detective. 
  • Geo ends up doing time in prison, and more murders start happening.
  • What happened in the past & how is it connected to the present?

MY THOUGHTS
  • Multiple POVs - Geo & Kaiser.
  • Set in Seattle area.
  • Different timelines - alternating between what happened in past versus present.
  • Third Hillier book I’ve read, and she’s quickly become one of my favorite authors of the genre.
  • Intense & hard to put down.
  • Complex characters.
  • Tough topics covered in book. Check trigger warnings.
  • Well written. Easy to read & hard to put down.

TL;DR: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️another gripping thriller by Hillier

This would have been a 5 star read if the epilogue would have been -slightly- more flushed out. So SO good. A heart pounding, gut wrenching look into the wrong side of "coming of age" and how our past will always come back to haunt us.
