Landy, Tenile, Nathan, Justin and Kareem were best friends, during their college at Tanner University. Landy-Justin and Tenile-Nathan were couples. Everything was so beautiful and their future is all set, just when Landy was murdered. And Nathan became the suspect. Even after Nathan's father won him out of the case, rumors never changed. Ten years later, Nathan goes back to Tanner to find the murderer. But there are so many secrets and so many rumors that comes with every turn Nathan takes. Between all this, he has to win Tenile back...from Justin.

Very well written and interesting characters! Every character has more secrets than what we know through the first impression and the author releases one after the other giving readers enough time to appreciate or analyze everything. The change in POV between the main characters gave more detail behind the motivation for their secrets. I loved the romance between Tenile and Nathan and was rooting for the couple to get together from the start.

I couldn't have asked for a better mystery novel. This is just perfect, until the ending though. That's just plain cruel to end a novel like that, without even a partial closure. :( But, the only thing that has kept me from pulling my hair after that kind of ending is that the second part of this series is coming soon. That's a big relief.

I really enjoyed the premise of the story. I always enjoy a story about a character returning to their home town to solve a crime that happened in their past.

I did find that the story had a lot of characters and a lot of different perspectives and at times that could get a little confusing.

The story does also deal with a lot of cheating so if that's not your thing then avoid this one.

I was frustrated by the ending and that this book doesn't really have any answers at all and only raises more questions and you need to read Book 2 to get any answers at all.

This was a really good mystery. I can't believe it has taken me so long to get to it. This is why going forward I will immediately put down books that stall. I have too many other books that could be awesome. I'm immediately moving on to Revealed. I must know who killed who and what is really going on. Donovan and Justin are two pieces of work. Tracy needs to stop being a doormat. There isn't that much love in the world to keep getting crapped on and disregarded.
