I can always rely on Minka Kent to spin a great mystery and keep me on my toes and this book did just that!

Labeled crazy and a murder her past has followed her she’s an outcast. Now as an adult Afton lives with her grandmother and works the night shift at the local hotel in her small town, she relies on pills to help her sleep and make it through the day.
