“No list of thrillers is complete without Robyn Harding,” proclaims Real Simple. Now the USA TODAY bestselling author of The Party delivers a riveting tale about the toxic relationship between two couples after a night of sexual shenanigans, and the manipulative teenager with an explosive secret at the center of it all.

Low Morrison is not your average teen. You could blame her hippie parents or her looming height or her dreary, isolated hometown on an island in the Pacific Northwest. But whatever the reason, Low just doesn’t fit in—and neither does Freya, an ethereal beauty and once-famous social media influencer who now owns the local pottery studio.

After signing up for a class, Low quickly falls under Freya’s spell. And Freya, buoyed by Low’s adoration, is compelled to share her darkest secrets and deepest desires. Finally, both feel a sense of belonging...that is, until Jamie walks through the studio door. 

​Desperate for a baby, she and her husband have moved to the island hoping that the healthy environment will result in a pregnancy. Freya and Jamie become fast friends, as do their husbands, leaving Low alone once again.

Then one night, after a boozy dinner party, Freya suggests swapping partners. It should have been a harmless fling between consenting adults, one night of debauchery that they would put behind them, but instead, it upends their lives. And provides Low the perfect opportunity to unleash her growing resentment.

Robyn Harding brings her acclaimed storytelling, lauded as “fast-paced, thrilling, gut-wrenching” by Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six, to this dark and suspenseful thriller for fans of Megan Miranda and Lisa Jewell.

Domestic Thriller & Suspense

WOW! Robyn Harding is one hell of an author and I have LOVED every book of hers since she started publishing. This one, I was blown away! It’s a domestic suspense/thriller novel filled to the brim with toxic relationships, manipulation, and sneaky characters who will make your skin crawl! You can’t help but hate some these characters, but they are so intriguing because they have deep seated issues that are thoroughly shown throughout the novel thanks to fantastic writing! Honestly, I can’t recommend this one enough! It’s a twisted read that will leave you feeling anxious and creeped out all at the same time. Both Low and Freya are whacko!

I don’t want to say much of anything about this book because I think readers need to go in BLIND. It’s that much of a screwed-up plot that you need to experience every emotion as you’re reading without preconceived notions. A few things you can know before going in though: this book has some MAJOR stalker moments (this is where the creepiness comes in), the characters (for the most part) are all unlikeable (except for Jamie), mental health issues play a major role in the storyline and behaviors of a couple of the characters, and there is a partner swap (coming FROM manipulation) that sets off a string of events that will leave you hanging by the edge of your seat!

I have loved Robyn’s novels for some time now and while each book has been very enjoyable for me this definitely my favorite of them all! Highly HIGHLY recommended!
