Three girls…
Three dead bodies…
The quiet town of Craven Falls is depleting in population. One by one…
Scarlet Fitzgerald thought it would be fun to play a game on Laura Stevenson, a nobody at Craven Falls High. But what happens when the game unleashes buried secrets Scarlet doesn’t want anyone to know? Secrets that could get someone killed, including herself.
Three can play a game, but one of them ends up dead…

Available on Amazon








My review: Laura is a high school senior outcast. No one knew the trouble she had at home.

Rachel was once friends with Laura but was taken by the popular girl. She knows something is up with Laura and wants to help.

Scarlet is the mean, popular girl that just wants to get Laura. She won’t stand for any betrayal.

Scarlet becomes too obsessed over Rachel’s friendship with Laura and being dumped by her only infuriates her. In the interest in revenge, she keeps her friends close and her enemies closer. At a party, Laura gets drunk and raped. She recognizes the boy but can’t say a word. Secrets are soon revealed, but there was only one that could destroy someone forever.

Story is in different POV’s that repeat the same info sometimes, which slows things down. But, of course, you fill any missing gaps when a different girl relays the same scene in her own terms, which often reveals her thoughts and feelings. Suspicion, jealousy, and vengeance boil to the surface and these girls will stop at nothing. Someone was holding secrets and would kill to keep them hidden.

At the end of all this, who will be the dead girl under the bleachers?

A good, little mystery!

My rating: 4 stars
