Description
A completely gripping YA thriller to rival One of Us Is Lying.
Secrets and lies are everywhere in this compulsive page-turner, perfect for fans of TikTok favourites One of Us is Lying, We Were Liars, and This Lie Will Kill You.
The monsters have known each other their whole lives. This is their final summer before college—time to hang out, fall in love, and dream about the future.
Until they accidentally start a forest fire which destroys their hometown and leaves death in its wake.
Desperate for the truth to remain hidden, the group make a pact of silence.
But the twisted secret begins to spin out of control and when one of the friends disappears they all become suspects.
We know how it starts but where does it end?
