Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

It was a very tense story filled with events from the first pages up to the last.

The author guides us along the jumping timeline keeping us in real time flying further to the events while allowing not to miss stories from the past or important conversations. It was unusual but captivating.

I loved the characters. The stubborn FMC and and people around her. It was interesting to follow their relationships and decisions as the investigation unfolded.

All through the book I kept gessing and suspected everyone around of being the killer, and was satisfied with how things turned out. The twist on the last pages amazed me with it's suddenness and gave comfort after the storie's tension.

It was great to see two sides of therapy: a reminder that a bad specialist can traumatize you even more, but a good one will actually help.

I haven't read thrillers for some time, it was a great start and now I want to read them more.

This was a great novel in the genre and I really enjoyed getting into this world. The plot had me from the first page and was engaged with what was happening. It was tense and enjoyed the mystery to this book. Alyssa E. Stadnyk has a strong writing style and glad I read this.

When Jessica Donovan's friend is murdered, she, along with family members and a detective Jessica is on a mission to find out what really happened.

Jessica uncovers secrets and lies and what happens next makes her think about her life and the people she knows.

This YA read is a good one. It is not a book I continuously read, it has been my bedtime read over a few nights.

I enjoyed the plot, it has well written characters and I can see a younger readership loving it..

**4..5 Stars**

When I first picked up this book, I honestly had no idea what to expect. I thought it might be a bit too lengthy for my taste. The line "Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead" really sets the tone, especially for Jessica Donovan, who learns just how accurate that saying is after her best friend, Ashley Fields, is murdered. With the support of her boyfriend, her estranged older brother, and the lead detective on the case, Jessica embarks on a quest to uncover the truth. Along the way, she must confront her own hidden secrets and delve into the mystery surrounding her childhood friend's death from seven years ago. Can Jessica unravel the truth about her past and solve Ashley's murder before time runs out, or will her secrets lead to her downfall? This book is aimed at readers aged 15-18, and I genuinely believe they will find it captivating. The plot is filled with unexpected twists, and the conclusion took me completely by surprise.

Thank You NetGalley for allowing me to review this book.
