With a title like this, I knew we were in for a ride with Hank Phillippi Ryan’s newest thriller. Eliza and Bea Ramsey miraculously survived a horrific plane crash that claimed their parents’ lives. The girls were taken in by an aunt who supported them but did not really fill the emotional gaps the girls needed. Now as adults, they go to the cemetery on “Remembrance Day” to honor their parents. Bea is a mother to a precocious 11-year-old, ironically named Piper. Piper spends the night with her aunt Eliza on the eve of Remembrance Day but for whatever reason, Bea does not show up to get her daughter. This leaves Eliza searching for clues as her sister has gone missing. Eliza fears that Bea may have deserted her daughter or worse, killed herself. In a family riddled with curses, Eliza turns to the only person she knows that can help- her aunt.
What transpires next will have you questioning if your own family has such a secretive past and will leave you shaking your head and wondering “HOW DID RYAN COME UP WITH THIS TWIST” at the very end. Ryan proves yet again why she is at the top of her game in the thriller genre- and you are left hanging until the last page.
I would like to thank Hank Phillippi Ryan and St Martin’s Press /Minotaur Books for allowing me the opportunity to read this ARC in advance for free in exchange for an honest review.
