What happens when your past comes back to haunt you?
Jenna, Donnie and Nico are all former foster students from the Savior House who have grown up and gone their own ways. Jenna is a stay at home mom, Donnie is a has-been rock star, and Nico is a reality tv producer. They’re brought back together when each of their lives are threatened because of their past.
I enjoyed how quick of a read this was! The short chapters were awesome. There were plenty of twists to keep you entertained throughout the book, although some felt unnecessary. I wish the author would have had more distinction between timelines (past and present). I found myself confused a lot, then I would realize it was a flashback, so it would have been helpful to have a “then/now” time frame.
Parts of the ending felt a little rushed once the actual action started but overall this was a fun thriller that I can’t wait to recommend!
The biggest thank you to #netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Not what I was expecting this book to be but still quite good. I could see this being the first in a series- one I would definitely read. Recommend.
