About This Book

I was there. I saw what you did. Blaise I wasn’t supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land’s End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward. Connections run deep in our small town. I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I’d always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a

Our Review

A tense small-town thriller that pulls readers into the night two teenage girls witness a brutal crime from the woods, only to be pressured into a suffocating silence. Blaise, the protagonist, grapples with the gut-wrenching conflict between her moral compass and the deep-seated fear of exposing a truth that powerful local connections want to keep buried. The novel masterfully builds a claustrophobic atmosphere where secrets are currency and trust is a liability, forcing the characters to navigate a world where doing the right thing could have dangerous consequences.

What makes this story so compelling is its raw exploration of guilt and the corrosive nature of a coerced lie, especially for someone who always believed they would stand up for justice. The psychological weight of the secret and the constant threat of exposure will resonate deeply with readers who enjoy morally complex characters and high-stakes suspense. This is a gripping page-turner for anyone captivated by stories where the past refuses to stay buried and the truth demands to be heard.
