Vera King masterfully plays with the idea of consent and silence. Every character in this book has something they refuse to say: a victim who won’t name their attacker, a witness who won’t testify, a mother who won’t reveal the truth about her daughter’s disappearance. King asks the uncomfortable question: Is silence always compliance, or can it be survival? Vera King does not flinch

The catch? Three of them are dead. The fourth is the one chasing her. Have a comfort read waiting on your nightstand

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (4.5/5) “A taut, haunting thriller that will make you question every unspoken word in your own life.”
