The tale begins in Solway, Laurie Arbo is at a Halloween party, with her boyfriend Nate Stone, when her best friend and roommate, Ashley, goes missing. After a night of partying, hungover and exhausted, Laurie has little recollection of the nights events. Her boyfriend comes back from a very early morning run, acting strange with clothes covered in blood, which he says is from one of the Halloween decorations. She's not sure but decides to let it go. The police are not convinced that foul play is involved and the case grows cold. Days turn into years and Ashley remains missing. Laurie finishes college and her and Nate grow apart. She moves to Toronto to begin a new life.
Seven years passes when Laurie is called back to Solway. She's working for a tv show and is back to investigate a sordid event from 1974. While asking questions around town she reconnects with Nate and the Stone family and that's when things take an unexpected turn. As Laurie starts to have flashes of the Halloween nights events, will she finally learn the truth about what happened to Ashley, or is this the one truth that needs to remain buried?
This was a fantastic story. Intense, thrilling, suspenseful. I really enjoyed it. I am a little on the fence of how the ending went down though I wont give any spoilers. You'll just have to read it for yourself. The story is fast paced and I felt the characters had depth. I felt it was wrapped up well too. I am excited to see what else this author comes up with. I received this book free from Booksirens for an honest review.
