'Penny Batchelor, just released one heck of a book, and it's straight up poppin'! This book deserves a standing ovation and I am SO here for it.

Five unlikely friends. One reunion. Who will make it out alive?

The outsider. The geek. The football star. The quiet one. The good Samaritan.

Five students, each living in their own world - until the day Tania Armstrong-Jones walked into their lives. As the campus It-girl, she wasn't the kind to mix with just anyone. But Tania had a way of drawing people in, becoming the glue that held their friendship together. Then tragedy hit, taking her away from them too soon and tearing the group apart.

Now twenty-five years later, they're reuniting at a remote country hotel on the anniversary of her death.

But when the drinks start flowing and with the party in full swing, the merry mood of the night suddenly turns when secret revelations come to light about their university days. But just how well did they know Tania? And could there be more to Tania's accident than they're letting on?

Trapped in the hotel with no way out and with no one they can trust, who will make it through the reunion in one piece?

From the author of My Perfect Sister, comes an absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller that puts friendships to the test, with shocking twists and turns that will blow your mind. Perfect for fans of C.L. Taylor, Sue Watson and B.A. Paris.
