About the book:
A teenage girl dies in a house fire. Ten years later, a bride disappears days before her wedding. Solve one case and you solve them both—unless you die trying first.
Grace Dupree disappears on the eve of her wedding in New York City, leaving only one clue for her fiancée, Damien: A decade-old newspaper clipping of an Ohio house fire that killed 17-year-old Leanne Crosby. Damien looks at the school photo in the clipping and knows instantly Leanne and Grace are the same person. Realising his life with Grace was based on a series of lies, Damien travels to Ohio to uncover the truth.
Told through the alternating viewpoints and timelines of Damien and Leanne, readers also see the events that led up to Leanne’s original disappearance. Undercurrents of emotional and physical violence pulse in Leanne’s daily life, and her only sanctuary is her best friend, Tasha. As Damien pieces together clues, the dark secrets in Grace’s past are uncovered.
The closer Damien gets to finding Grace, and Leanne comes to the night of the fire itself, the more deadly their intertwining stories become. Will Damien find Grace before another person dies for her? Or will he be the next victim?
My thoughts:
This fast-paced thriller is packed with unexpected twists, surprising revelations, and a breathtaking roller-coaster ride that hooked me from the very first page. The story seamlessly shifts between the present and the past, weaving events together into a mind-blowing conclusion. I could not put this book down. Highly recommend.

I have read a few books by Sarah Stephens and have loved every one!
I was in conversation with Sarah back in 2019 when she introduced me to The Book Fairies after some research I ordered some BookFairy Stickers and got started. It wasn’t long before I was ordering the full Book Fairy Starter Kit and I have met so many lovely book people who have become family across the world. If you haven’t heard of The Book Fairies then be sure to check them out! #ibelieveinbookfairies
