Grove Hills
This Little Beginning
Outer Banks meets Pretty Little Liars in this gripping prequel to Nora Blake’s Grove Hills series.
Before the secrets. Before the betrayals. Before the lies became deadly… there was Marissa Harper and Phillip True.
Marissa has always been reckless, wild, and drawn to trouble. Phillip has always been steady, loyal, and willing to chase after her no matter where she leads. But when Marissa finds herself entangled with the dangerous and mysterious Jerome Bonovich, the world she thought she knew unravels.
Caught between two boys—one who wants to save her and one who might destroy her—Marissa is pulled into the dark side of Grove Hills, where power is everything, secrets are currency, and escaping unscathed isn’t an option.
This Little Beginning reveals the origins of the deadly game played in Grove Hills and the choices that set everything in motion. Some love stories were never meant to last.
This prequel is meant to be read after This Little Town, This Little Secret, and This Little Promise.

This was the perfect book to explain how it all began. I saw the mother as both a villain and a victim in this book. It’s interesting how people can be both.
Really good writing reminded me of how much I liked book 1. Wish it was a bit longer.
