“I have to tell you something. I did something bad.”

Fifteen years ago, Blair’s best friend Molly was murdered.
Fifteen years ago, Adrian Jones went to prison for it.
Fifteen years ago, the real killer got away with it.

And now, Blair’s terminally ill sister has made a devastating deathbed confession, which could prove that the wrong man has been imprisoned for years – and that Molly’s killer is still out there. Blair’s determined to find him, but the story behind Molly’s death is more twisted than she could imagine. If she isn’t careful, the killer will ensnare her and bury Blair with his secret.

MY THOUGHTS:

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

I went into this book not knowing what to expect. And, well… it definitely wasn’t what I had expected.

This book came across as being released before the final edit where it could have picked up on plot and subplot issues, character fails, etc. These are just too big to be ignored.

The entire premise was incredibly intriguing and had me hooked right away and could have been a five star win, but, unfortunately I think it was rushed to publication and that cost it dearly.

A great idea, a valid attempt, but just too many major issues that killed the story for me.

I gave it:
