Fast paced thriller which keeps you guessing until the very end. Each girl and a few guys had more than enough motive and lots of secrets. Sienna wasn't the most likeable main character but you found yourself routing for her and following her ideas and theories.
There's a prequel and sequel which are linked but not essential I will be picking them up as the writing was in the style of Karen Mcmanus and Maureen Johnson.

Interesting college type murder mystery. Lots of twists. Not a bad whodunit. Looks like there's another book to follow.

This book started out in a bit of confusion. I kept having to check that I didn't miss a book before this. It looks like a prequel was written after this was published. The author seemed to develop her writing skills and story telling skills as the book went on. I am excited for the next book in this series and look forward to what Simbi will offer in the future. She has the potential and quick development to have future books take off

This book had a great plot with intriguing characters. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.

Thank you to NetGalley and BlackEcho Press for the eARC.

Twisty. This book is so very twisty. But for me, unfortunately the twists did not outweigh how dragged on this book felt. It would have been a stronger read for me overall if it was shorter

This was exactly what you want it to be. It was twisty, dramatic, and a little ridiculous, which is exactly what I was expecting. I thought it was interesting and the fast pace really made it easy to fly through. I would recommend for anyone looking for a fun, quick thriller

The tile of this book felt very Pretty Little Liars to me. The first half flew by because I could not stop reading it but the second half did seem to drag. While I did need to know what happened, it seriously dragged. I think it was longer than it needed to be but all in all, I would recommend it just for the twists.

Thank you Netgalley and BlackEcho Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Simbi Feyisara’s "Our Secrets Die With Her" is a unique thriller that captivates from the very first page due to the number of suspects in a classic “who done it” kind of mystery. This fast-paced, twisty mystery centers on Sienna Bassey as she navigates the perilous aftermath of her roommate Dani’s murder at Stedmond College. Dani, notorious for holding deadly secrets that could ruin lives, leaves behind a trail of suspicion and paranoia that propels Sienna into a nightmarish quest for truth. Even Sienna’s housemates think she killed Dani, but it seems like everyone in the house had a reason for wanting Dani dead.

Feyisara crafted a story filled with secrets, lies, and heart-pounding suspense; I will say that I was definitely not expecting the twist at the end. While there are little clues scattered throughout, the main twist is not obvious as you, the reader, are trying to solve the mystery with the same information as Sienna. I really enjoyed the mystery aspect as it was unpredictable, at least to me. The different characters also added to the mystery. Each character harbors hidden truths, adding layers of tension and intrigue. The tension is palpable as each character’s secrets are unveiled, making the mystery utterly engrossing.

While the first half of the book might feel like a lot is happening at once, the fast pace and engaging plot make up for it. Right from the beginning of the book, there were a lot of names and motivations to keep track of; I almost wanted a murder board of my own to try to figure out exactly what was going on. Some of the actions of the characters were a bit immature, and I wasn’t able to connect that well to the characters. Despite this, I was still fully invested in the plot.

Overall, "Our Secrets Die With Her" is a must-read for fans of thrillers and mysteries. The ending does set up for a sequel, and I definitely want to read more about the mysteries within Stedmond College.

I had to know what happened to Dani! I didn't put it down until I was finished. Lots of twists and turns, a fast paced read. I was hooked from the first page!

Simbi Feyisara, although a hard name to say, will never leave your thoughts again.

Not after reading:

Such an amazing book, the characters are well thought out and relatable, the plot is a true mystery, ever changing, fast paced, it’s not over described and everything is relevant (no side quests) which I really loved and the ending was amazing!
Can’t wait to read the next book on the series!
So well written!

An alright book that I felt bad rating any lower. The first half went by in a flash but there seemed to be a lot going on for such a short book. I also wasn't a fan of the reveal as I feel the character wasn't actually in enough of the story for it to make sense.

Review: 4.5⭐
OUR SECRETS DIE WITH HER was a fast-paced thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. It follows Sienna as she investigates the murder of her roommate Dani.
This book was a quick read. Literally, I was able to read it in just a day or two. The mystery drew me in, and I was enthralled throughout. I just had to know who the culprit was because it seemed everyone had something to hide.
OUR SECRETS DIE WITH HER was filled with secrets and drama. It felt like the mystery was never-ending. This book had me guessing and second-guessing, etc. Each time I thought I knew who was responsible, I was proven wrong. And let me tell you, I was utterly shocked when the whodunnit was revealed. I think this is a must-read if you're looking for a quick and easy read to keep you on your toes.

What I Liked About It:
*the drama
*the mystery
*how everyone had secrets

I started reading this last night and finished this morning as I was so determined to find out what lead to Dani's death and the secrets she had on everyone.

Sienna finds her roommate Dani dead in her room and everyone is a suspect because Dani is not liked by anyone. Dani finds out everyone’s secrets and uses them against them to get what she wants. Dani decides she has to find the killer to ensure her secrets stay a secret.
