A year ago, Declan died on a rafting trip... and nobody is all that sad about it, least of all his ex-girlfriend Cleo. Now it's Cleo's birthday and someone has set up a scavenger hunt for her--and every clue is about her relationship with Declan. Someone claims to know exactly what happened at the river, and will tell if Cleo can't finish the hunt in the time given. She'll have to relive their whole relationship, abuse and all, if she wants to keep those secrets buried.

Teen thriller. Not my favorite from this author, but I still like her style.

This is definitely a page-turner. I flew through it pretty quickly. For careful readers, it may be a little bit predictable; I thought I knew the twist pretty early on, and I was correct, but it still made for an enjoyable read and I don't regret spending the time reading it.

The audiobook narrator does a really good job on this one. I will have to look for other books she has worked on.

A big thank-you to the author, the publisher, and to netgalley for a copy of the erc.

Trigger warnings: death (in the past), shitty parenting, domestic violence, toxic relationship (in the past), lying, drug use, gaslighting, stalking

This was.........a mixed bag for me. The first half felt absolute chaotic, between the my-boyfriend's-dead stuff and the stalking stuff and the scavenger hunt stuff and the complex family situation and keeping track of all the characters. But somewhere around the midpoint of the book, things shifted and I absolutely FLEW through the second half. There was at least one plot twist that I didn't see coming and I very nearly said "HOLY SHIT" out loud in the middle of supervising a class of teenagers, so props to Richards for that. Will definitely be picking up more of her books in the future.

This was dark & twisty and I loved it! It was so easy to get hooked into the story - wanting to know what happened on that rafting trip & who was toying with Cleo. I loved the misdirection that kept me guessing right to the end!

Thanks to Sourcebooks Fire & NetGalley for the DRC in exchange for an honest review.
