Genre-New Adult
Blurb-
Iris
Breslin is on a mission with only one goal: escape Breakwater, Wyoming,
where her family’s horrific history is common knowledge. New York
couldn’t be more different to her small town upbringing, but better
still, absolutely no one at Syracuse University knows of the brutal
murders her father committed before taking his own life when she was
fourteen years old. For the first time, Iris has friends, a career plan,
a regular life.
Until Jake.
Jake
Stafford grew up in Breakwater. Discovering Charlie Breslin’s body on
his first day as a cop may have snared Jake in the Breslin family
nightmare, but the truth is that he was already involved long before.
Now a part of the NYPD, Jake remains entangled in the five year old
mystery—a mystery he intends to solve. That isn’t going to be an easy
task, especially with Iris back in his life. Jake must fight to convince
the girl he loves that his feelings are genuine, and not some sick
obsession with a man who once helped him when no one else would. His
hidden secrets are darker than Iris can possibly imagine, but can she
drop her guard long enough to uncover them?
About the Author-
As
a child, I was always accused of being bookish because I wore glasses-
big, horrible, ugly ones with too-thick lenses. Those kids, the super
smart ones who always know which tender insecurities to poke at in order
to provoke life-long complexes, used to accuse me of reading too many
books and that my eyes were going to rot out of my head (their words,
not mine!)
The
truth of the matter was a little more embarrassing: I used to sit too
close to the T.V. That was the reason why I had to wear glasses, but
kids don’t really care about small, insignificant details like the
truth, and so I was labelled a nerd. The label kinda stuck, and after
some sage advice from my awesome nana (nana, you rock!) I decided that
if I was going to be abused for my supposed literary obsession, I might
as well develop one.
I
guess that’s how I got into books and reading at an early age. Since
then, I’ve been ripping through books like they’re going out of fashion,
which, thankfully, they’re not. Good thing, too, because I’m a writer
now, and books are my business!
This looks amazing!!
