About this ebook

'My HEART!! Heck! Needed to sleep so badly but those last few chapters had me HOOKED... The twists and turns were constant... Just really, really didn't want it to end' Reader review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THEN
It's Rachel's favourite night of the year: the end-of-summer beach party with all her best friends. They're going to do something wild: break into the abandoned funfair. It'll be a night to remember. And none of their lives will ever be the same again.

NOW
Years later, Rachel still lives at home with her mother, trying to keep the memories of that night far from her mind. But when her old friends return to the sleepy seaside town unexpectedly, Rachel is forced to face up to the past. Who saw what? Who lied to who?

And why does the old funfair still have such a hold on them all?

A totally gripping psychological thriller with a twist that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, Dandy Smith and Becca Day.
