Is it possible that there is some truth within the pages of Morgan Thorne’s murder mysteries and could Rosie be in danger….or is she the dangerous one?
I loved every second of this book! I did not figure out who the villain was until the reveal. I didn’t know who to trust and loved all the stalker vibes! This is my first Megan Collins novel and I can’t wait to read her backlist!

Brooke tries to live behind a facade of being perfect: she takes great care with her appearance, she strives for top grades in school, and she applied to only the best university. Everything she does is designed to cause others to think she lives a charmed life. When she receives her acceptance to Yale, it is not only important for her ‘perfect’ persona, it’s an opportunity to reinvent herself. What most people don’t see is that Brooke has a sinister secret. But someone thinks they know what it is and they’re willing to put Brooke in danger for it. While she can’t wait to flee her PNW hometown and start over, first she has to survive the class bonfire!
I think people who enjoyed The Good Girl’s Guide to Murder will also enjoy this one.

I read a lot of thrillers so it’s hard to surprise me but this book did just that. I could not have predicted how this story was going to unravel or end. So big hats off to the author for originality!
As this story unfolds, Jasmine is running from her abusive boyfriend. Stephanie is headed to another boring work conference. Both of these women are on the same plane headed west. But the sequence of events that occur after these women reach their destination is shocking!
This is NOT a perfectly written story. But in spite of that, I had a hard time putting this one down. First I needed to know what happened to Stephanie and Jasmine. Then I laughed out loud through all of Trent’s chapters. That guy is such a slimy dirt bag! And I was shocked at everything that happened till the end. This book is just good thriller fun and I can’t wait to read what this author writes next!

This book captivated me from beginning to end! If you love cult stories then pick this one up. Harden meets his new friend, Coyote, under unfortunate circumstances at Wyland University in upstate New York. They end up being roommates with two other seniors, Derek and Jacob. Derek has a bad feeling about Coyote. And his instincts are right because Coyote isn’t a good person and he does not have good intentions.
I was on the edge of my seat for most of this story, holding my breath and reading faster than my brain could process to find out how it was all going to end. I thought it might be too much to read two books by this author so close together after reading “Tell Me What You Did” last week. But his stories are so different and written with the same addictive style, plot lines and realistic characters. Suffice it to say, I will be reading EVERYTHING Carter Wilson writes!...more
