Three boys, who are now men, were responsible for my older sister’s suicide. My sister Hallie was everything pure and sweet until they tainted her. They painted her soul dark despite how beautiful she was. They broke her, collared her, and decided they owned her. Then, for good measure, they humiliated her in front of the whole school. Hallie killed herself before her cancer could kill her. I have the same cancer. I’m slowly dying, but not before I make those three evil souls pay. I’ll make it slow. I’ll drag it out like a cat would a mouse before it eats it. Hell, my life is over anyway.
I found out I had two sisters. Now I have only one. My older sister Hallie died from cancer that Hannah now has. I refuse to lose the only sister I have left. She has to fight! The more I push, the more she refuses. I opened my home to her, as well as my heart. So why do I feel she isn’t happy and couldn’t care less to live? I see darkness beyond her eyes. I know all too well. I thought all my family secrets were revealed, but Hannah brings many more. I could lose the life I fought so hard to have while protecting her. I have always known that evil runs in our DNA.
I deserted my old identity for a new one. I have made promise after promise that I won't go back to my old ways, but murder seems to follow me. It’s been almost two years since our charming small town has had a murder, Vivian Slade's known timeline. So when I find a man brutally murdered, suspicion goes around that Vivian Slade isn’t really dead. My best friend's husband suspects me, my husband betrays me, and I know it wasn’t me. How far will I have to go to prove I didn’t kill anyone?... Well, this time around.
I really loved how this booked explained all the ties to that the family dynamics. It kept me reading and intrigued. Can't wait to see what this writer comes out with next.
