Emery and August had a love they thought would last forever. They grew up together on the island of Saoirse. They dreamed of leaving the island and starting a new life far away.
One night changed everything. Emery's best friend Lily is found dead, and August is the prime suspect. Everyone may believe he's guilty, but there is no proof. August and his mom still leave the island because they can't deal with the constant stares and whispers any longer.
Fourteen years later, August returns to Saoirse to bury his mother there. His presence brings the night of Lily's death back for everyone. The truth must finally come out.
This isn't the type of book that I normally read, but I thought it was really good. Very atmospheric and perfect for the spooky season. I changed my mind about who I thought was guilty quite a few times and was still wrong. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for an e-arc.
