They say living well is the best revenge. Devi disagrees.
When she uncovers proof of Kyle’s secrets, she doesn’t walk away—she plots. Every lie, every weakness, every sin he thought was buried becomes a weapon in her hands. Piece by piece, she dismantles the life he built.
But the deeper she goes, the more dangerous the game becomes. Because in a world built on betrayal, the line between justice and destruction isn’t just blurred…it’s gone.
The First to Fall is a slow-burn psychological thriller about obsession, consequence, and the cost of revenge—perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Tarryn Fisher.
First to Fall dives deep into the mind of a morally grey, psychologically unraveling protagonist, and it definitely delivers the unsettling atmosphere that psychological-thriller readers look for. Harper Rowan isn’t afraid to explore darker motives, revenge-driven choices, and the blurred line between justice and obsession. Thriller fans will definitely enjoy the tension and intensity of the character’s spiral.
I appreciated the intensity and the unique perspective this story offers. Readers who enjoy darker, character-driven thrillers will find a lot to dig into here. This book takes risks, and I think fans of twisty, character-driven thrillers will really respond to it.
This reminded me a little of Black Mirror... I love how deranged and unhinged the main character was, but also figuratively eating popcorn to see what she did next... Excited to see more from this author!
This book grabbed me from page one and did not let go. It’s dark, fast, messy in the best way, and completely addictive. Devi is the kind of character you don’t know whether to root for or run from, and that’s exactly what makes her so compelling. The tension builds quietly and then suddenly punches you in the throat with an ending I did not see coming.
Short chapters, sharp writing, and the perfect amount of chaos. If you love psychological thrillers with morally questionable women and revenge that goes way deeper than expected, First to Fall is absolutely worth it.
