What to expect
Which will ignite first: her rage, their desire or a killer's bloodlust?
When eighteen-year-old Addie's sister is found dead at the bottom of a ravine it's officially ruled an accident, but Addie doesn't buy it. The problem is, Addie has no evidence because when her sister died, she was a little distracted with Seth Montgomery, the boy next door Addie's always loved to hate.
She believes the murderer is Thatcher Montgomery, Seth's cousin. He always had a thing for her sister, and Addie caught them arguing shortly before her death. But, one year later, Thatcher is found dead at the bottom of the same ravine and Addie is forced to admit she was wrong.
Dodging corrupt police and the even more corrupt wealthy Montgomery family, Addie needs help to avenge her sister's death and she turns to the only person she hasn't managed to push away: Seth. But Seth is a Montgomery too and may be hiding secrets of his own.
Is Addie and Seth's growing bond strong enough to keep them safe, or will they become the next victims?
Perfect for fans of Pretty Little Liars, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and all things true crime.
