An Absolutely Addictive and Binge-Worthy Psychological Thriller

She’s writing your story. She knows your secrets. She’ll kill to keep them.

Alani Fairchild just landed her dream job. Isabelle Croft wants Alani to write her memoir, revealing all about her star-studded life as an actress and spilling the secrets that bind her picture-perfect family. And she will pay Alani whatever it takes to make her say yes.

Gravel crunching beneath her sneakers, Alani pretends not to see Isabelle watching her from an upstairs window of her beachfront home. Something tells her she’s made a terrible mistake. But it’s too late now as she’s welcomed inside by perfectly manicured hands and cold gray eyes.

Perched on a silk sofa, Alani begins to write as Isabelle opens up about her marriage and struggles with fame. But when talk turns to the night of the birth of Isabelle’s first child, Alani feels the room spin. The hospital. The storm raging outside. All the same sketchy details Alani’s parents described about the night she was born… Everything in Alani’s body tells her to run. But she knows she needs to stay if she wants answers.

When Alani wakes on the floor days later, with a knife in her hand and blood on her clothes, nothing will prepare you for the twists in Isabelle and Alani’s deadly story…

An absolutely jaw-dropping psychological thriller from bestselling author D.K. Hood. Fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose, and Colleen Hoover will be hooked!

There’s something simmering under the surface, a secret festering like a bad tooth.

My Review:

 

This one has me in need of a manicure, as my cuticles are now absolutely ragged. D.K. Hood can certainly spin a twisty, mesmerizing, well-contrived, and expertly paced tale that I had trouble putting down and continued to contemplate when inconsiderate life events interrupted my rapt perusal. I wasn’t sure which characters were trustworthy or who to empathize with, as every single one of them had their own agenda.

I look forward to more of the same from this clever scribe.
