Goodreads: A sexy, dark romantic thriller—with a shocking twist—by the author of Everything We Never Said.

River Santos is stuck—in her job at the diner, in her dead-end town, in her grief. Her father died in a house fire just a few months ago, her mother has been MIA for nearly a year, and the only people she can count on are the aunt she lives with and her best friend Tawny. 

Things feel like they’re turning around when Logan—the hot guy at the diner who’s always ignored her—seems interested. It’s complicated by her ex-boyfriend Noah, who she really needs closure with, and the fact that Tawny doesn’t think either of them is good enough for River… but the tension between River and Logan can’t be denied.

But love takes a backseat when new information surfaces about the fire. After all these months trying to move forward, River is forced to rethink everything… including the idea that maybe it wasn’t an accident after all. But who would commit this deadly act? And why?

River isn’t sure who to trust or who to turn to, but she needs to figure it out, fast. Because someone has more than love on their mind. They want revenge.

Ope’s Opinion: This story reminds me of the saying ” What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!” I think almost everyone except the main character, River, was deceptive. It was an enjoyable read to unweave all the lies and half truths.

This would have bee a five chair for me, but I am not a big fan of detailed sex scenes. There weren’t too many, but enough to knock a chair off of my opinion of this one.

I read Sloan Harlow’s book Everything We Never Said and thought it was really good. I was excited to read this one and was happy to find it just as good. I will be looking for her next book.
