'This was a great series. I enjoyed that it was fast paced, but had substance. I honestly could not put these books down while reading them.' Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

'The story twists and turns, and even though you have an idea of how things will end, it's still a surprise.

Very well written.'

I'd do anything to protect my family...

My name is Jody, and in these gritty East London streets, I defy the odds and do well at school.

But on one treacherous, smoke-filled night, the fragile balance of my world tilts irreversibly. I stand at the precipice, faced with an agonising choice. Do I speak the truth and risk fracturing the only family I've ever known, or do I remain silent and shield them from the storm?

The weight of my secrets presses down on me, a suffocating burden that threatens to crush my resolve. Can I find the strength to confront the truth, even as it threatens to tear apart the very fabric of our existence?

Or do I allow myself to be sucked into a web of lies?

This disturbing psychological thriller is utterly gripping and impossible to put down.

Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Mark Edwards and C.L Taylor.
