A review by bookstobarbellsbabe
Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hillier
4.0
"How far will someone go to bury their secerts?"
The book starts off intense. We are in the courtroom , listening to Georgina Shaw's (Geo) testomiy against her high school boyfriend Calvin James, 14 years after he murdered her best friend, Angela Wong. Angela's mother weeps in the courtroom and I found myself literally crying within the first 10 pages of this book.
After her testimony, Geo has to serve her sentence, too. She has a hard time in prison, but gets through the sentence in one piece, due to her business skills from her professional world that she was able to incorporate on her time behind bars.
When she finally gets out, she comes home to her fathers house to vandalism on the garage door. Weeks of side eyes and neighbors talking about her are coming, but what is unexpected is the sudden murders victims that begin showing up. Almost identical to how Angela was murdered 19 years ago.
An old friend from the past turned detective, Kaiser, informs her that her ex-lover Calvin has escaped prison and with her recently being released from prison, he has reason to believe that he is back and looking for her.
Now, I don't want to give away any spoilers because what comes next and the shocking ending had me seriously mind blown. I literally was not expecting that. Like, I seriously was like WTTTTFFF
I , at this point, am so in love with Jennifer. I love her writing. This is the second book of her I've read and I can honestly say that I have not been disappointed. I have to go back and order any of her previous books and just read anything she has ever written. I can say that anytime I see that she is going to come out with something, I will be preordering it!
In the end, I read this book in a day and half. I couldn't put it down and I loved it. I just love suspenseful books like this. It makes for a great book and I can get lost in and leave me mind blown. I can't wait to read more from Jennifer Hillier and am officially a forever fan. Thank you
