This story is about Hannah & April who meet as roommates freshmen year at college and instantly become best friends. When Hannah arrives home to find April murdered her whole world shattered into pieces. Years later the convicted murderer dies in prison but Hannah is left with some unsettling feelings especially after a reporter reaches out convinced that the killer may still be out there and Neville was wrongly convicted.
Thoughts: I was pulled in by this academic thriller. It was a bit of a slow build and drawn out in a few spots. I was shocked when the “official killer” came to light because my thoughts were all pointing to someone else so I enjoyed the surprise and suspense of that. The characters are all relatively likable, although Hannah was a bit annoying with her obsession with April, especially as it came out that April wasn’t the greatest friend or person at times. All in all this was a good thriller that I’m giving 4 stars.
Moderate: Addiction, Alcohol, Stalking, Toxic friendship, Child death, Drug abuse, Murder, Pregnancy, and Toxic relationship
