'A beautifully written edge-of-your-seat thriller that had me guessing right until the end.' Dreda Say MitchellA dark secret and a deadly score to settle...

In 1997 teenager Sophie White and her three girlfriends decide they want to lose their innocence before summer is over.
Roping in her childhood buddy Gareth and his mates, Sophie holds a party to get 'the deed' over and done with, but the night doesn't end as planned.


Twenty years later, the group are brought back together when Gareth is killed in a car accident and Sophie begins receiving threatening messages. It seems the party wasn't as innocent as everyone thought and now someone wants payback.


A gripping, highly addictive game of cat and mouse where the past comes back with vengeance. Perfect for the fans of Kimberley Chambers, Emma Tallon and Jessie Keane.
