“In every story, there’s a hero and villain. Sometimes one can be both.”

Angela, Geo, and Kaiser are the best of friends but then beautiful & popular high school girl, Angela Wong goes missing without trace. No one knows what happened until 14 years later where her remains are found behind Geo’s house. Geo now has successful job, a fiancé, and a bright future ahead of her until the past decided to come back to haunt her.

Buckle up, folks. You’re going to be in for one wild ride! This book was a definite page turner with so many twists & turns. Every time I thought I had it figured out, a new twist happens! This is definitely for those who love true crime or anything serial killer related. On the flip side, this is not for those for the faint of heart. There are gruesome, stomach churning, and raw moments that even made me question if I could handle it 😬 This was my first Jennifer Hillier book and it will definitely not be my last. 10/10 recommend!
