Parker Vance and his wife Luna find themselves in a life-and-death struggle after a harrowing road accident. Yet, amidst their fight for survival, both harbor secrets, and one of them is concealing something grave. But which one? That's a puzzle for you to unravel!

The eve prior to the crash, Parker confided in his mother, Nicola, hinting at a crucial conversation scheduled for the next day: "I have something very important to tell you. But you mustn’t tell anyone..." Naturally, Nicola's curiosity piqued, eager to uncover the clandestine revelation meant exclusively for her ears. Unfortunately, fate intervenes, leaving Nicola unable to converse with her son as he battles for his life.

Narrated from various viewpoints, featuring a cast of polarizing characters, this tale ensnares you from the outset, refusing to relinquish its grip. With twists that defy anticipation, the author skillfully maintains an atmosphere of perpetual tension. I wholeheartedly recommend this gripping narrative.

Thank you Bookoutre and Netgalley for another great read
I guessed the twist quite quickly, but it didn't stop the storyline being less amazing.
Highly recommend.

I have enjoyed every K L Slater book I’ve ever read/listens to and this one is no exception!

The story is told by a few different characters perspectives and based on present day and the weeks leading up to to the car accident and death of a local woman.

The characters were well written and I particularly liked Nicola, one of the main characters. A typical mum, fiercely loyal and determined to get to the bottom of what’s been going on in her sons marriage.

I was gripped from start to finish and flew through it, I couldn’t put it down! The story development was great and kept you wanting more. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what was going to happen. The usual red herrings chucked in, taking you up the garden path really added to the suspense.

As I’ve said before, I really enjoy K L Slater’s style of writing and have a few more on my list left to read, which I can’t wait! She is now a guarantee on my TBR pile with every new release.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love a quick thriller and this one definitely fit the bill! Great twists I didn’t see coming. I thought I had it all figured out but was definitely surprised!

After Luna & Parker drop their son off at his grandparents house while they go to a work event, they get in a car accident and both end up in the hospital. Parker had been previously questioned in a homicide investigation, and now they find themselves right back in the middle of it. Parker’s mother Nicola is our main narrator, as she tries to track down the truth to get the heat off her son.

This was quick and fun to read. There were some parts that dragged a bit and were a little repetitive, but I feel like the twists and turns made up for that. we have several very unlikeable characters, but I feel like that added to the story. overall an enjoyable read and I couldn’t predict the ending

thank you to netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review!

What on earth did I just read! I was not expecting that at all. It is physchological thriller that really made me think. I was trying to guess what was going on but it has a different twist.

Once again KL Slater provides a riveting psychological thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. This is a tale of marriage, trust, and betrayal.

The book draws you into the tangled web of deception and intrigue that surrounds the couple and is filled with twists and turns, this one is a real page-turner that kept me on the edge of my seat.

A must read for all KL Slater fans!!

I love K.L. Slater's writing style. This book is told from multiple POVs, which is a writing style that I enjoy. This book was well written and the plot developed at a great pace.

I usually like reading books by this author, but this book was just average to me. It wasn't very exciting and took me so long to read it because I didn't feel invested in the story. Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the advanced copy. I'm leaving this review voluntarily.
