Blurb
Ten years ago, I survived a serial killer. They called me the lucky one, but they don’t know the truth I’ve been hiding ever since…
Then: We danced together that night, our dresses glittering in the swirling lights. We couldn’t have known that for one of us, it would be our last night alive.
Now: Back in my hometown a decade later—the place I’ve avoided because of the memories—I can’t shake the feeling that I am being followed. I tell myself it’s all in my head, but the prickle on the back of my neck feels like a warning. Then the anonymous messages land in my inbox: I’m watching. I’ve been waiting for you.
I want to feel safe, surrounded by my closest friends. But everyone has something to hide and it’s impossible to know who I can trust.
When one of my best friends goes missing, her phone ringing through to voicemail, it feels like the past is about to repeat itself.
Someone won’t let me forget what really happened that night. What I promised. How I escaped. If the truth comes out, I only hope they can forgive me... I can’t make the same mistake again. I have to keep us all safe. What if, this time, I’m not so lucky?
My Opinion
It was worth 5 stars
The Lucky One by Jessica Payne is a gripping psychological thriller. The plot is so absorbing and interesting that I could not take my eyes off. The characters are so secretive that I was not even able to guess the real culprit. But the end was so fantastic and twisted. Definitely, a powerful debut.
5 stars for the book. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
