Overview

'This one blew me away I was hooked from start to finish. Felt like I was right there with the characters going through what they were. This is my first from this author but definitely not my last.' - Netgalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Schoolgirl missing", the ticker reads, and the camera cuts to a girl's face. Blonde hair waterfalling over her shoulders, serious eyes, lips a little parted like she's about to speak. That's when I realize I've been holding my breath, because the gasp when I inhale almost chokes me.

Sadie Kelly has lost her job. Until last month, she was a teacher at Horton College - the same high school she went to ten years ago along with her best friend, Fiona. But Fiona died in an accident on their graduation night, in circumstances Sadie's spent the last ten years trying to forget, and since then nothing's been the same.

Now Sadie's jobless and living with Fiona's mother Jan, the woman who's watched over Sadie since she was a little girl, and the one person Sadie would do anything to protect. But when Sadie hears that Horton schoolgirl Devon Hundley has gone missing, everything changes. Devon is the daughter of Philip Hundley - wealthy school donor, local doctor, and a man Sadie knows all too well. And now Sadie can't help remembering the last time she saw Devon - and heard her whisper the words Sadie's been trying ever since to forget...

A gripping page-turner of family secrets and buried lies, for fans of Kerry Lonsdale, Diane Chamberlain, and Liane Moriarty.

I also think the setting for the book is perfect A very creepy all girls private school with shadows and secrets everywhere. All of the characters have secrets they are desperate to keep hidden, and the more serious the secret is, the more explosive the reality can be if it ever gets out....One thing leads to another until everything culminates together at the end with shocking and disturbing revelations. Although you find out pieces of information throughout the book, it doesn't all completely come together until the end.... It's a great book from a first time author ' - Netgalley reviewer
