"Nicolette Holland is the girl everyone likes. Up for adventure. Loyal to a fault. And she’s pretty sure she can get away with anything...until a young woman is brutally murdered in the woods near Nicolette’s house. Which is why she has to disappear.
Jack Manx has always been the stand-up guy with the killer last name. But straight A’s and athletic trophies can’t make people forget that his father was a hit man and his brother is doing time for armed assault. Just when Jack is about to graduate from his Las Vegas high school and head east for college, his brother pulls him into the family business with inescapable instructions: find this ruthless Nicolette Holland and get rid of her. Or else Jack and everyone he loves will pay the price.
As Nicolette and Jack race to outsmart each other, tensions—and attractions—run high. Told in alternating voices, this tightly plotted mystery and tense love story challenges our assumptions about right and wrong, guilt and innocence, truth and lies."
Review:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS WAS A GOOOOOOOD ONE!!!!!!!
The adrenaline is pumping by the first PAGE. Nick is surviving every minute of every chapter and my adrenaline would not slow. She’s constantly on the edge, constantly on the run and you can’t help but hope she makes it, even though she might’ve killed someone.
And then Jack????? A good guy with bad lineage and he’s on the hunt. Hunting Nick. To save his mom. A life for a life situation. If he kills Nick, his mom will remain unscathed in her suburban bliss. And even though his sweet mom is in the crosshairs, I don’t want him to find her.
BUT HE DOES. AND THEY START FALLING FOR EACH OTHER!!!!
Obviously they’re both lying about who they are, but the sexual tension is outer limits. I’m sitting here like, “WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING OOOOON RIGHT NOW?????” It’s like we went from 100-1000 and I was here. for. it.
And all the while we’re still trying to figure out if Nick killed this girl, and why. And why so many people are hunting her because of it? There’s so many questions and neither Nick nor Jack have all the answers.
And Nick’s “I’m Punching and Not Rolling” monologue in chapter 63????? Iconic and so bad ASS!
AND THE ENDING!!!!! There aren’t words. It was better than I had ever anticipated. My jaw fell on the floor at those last few pages. You think you know what happened? Guess the fuck again.
So unbelievably happy with this one. Lemme know your thoughts and feels in the comments below!!!!
