ONE BY ONE, THEY’LL DIE . . .
Twenty years ago, wild child Jessie Brentwood vanished from St. Elizabeth’s high school. Most in Jessie’s tight circle of friends believed she simply ran away. Few suspected that Jessie was hiding a shocking secret—one that brought her into the crosshairs of a vicious killer . . .
UNTIL THERE’S NO ONE LEFT . . .
Two decades pass before a body is unearthed on school grounds and Jessie’s old friends reunite to talk. Most are sure that the body is Jessie’s, that the mystery of what happened to her has finally been solved. But soon, Jessie’s friends each begin to die in horrible, freak accidents that defy explanation . . .
BUT HER . . .
Becca Sutcliff has been haunted for years by unsettling visions of Jessie, certain her friend met with a grisly end. Now the latest deaths have her rattled. Becca can sense that an evil force is shadowing her too, waiting for just the right moment to strike. She feels like she’s going crazy. Is it all a coincidence—or has Jessie’s killer finally returned to finish what was started all those years ago?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestselling suspense author Jackson (Left to Die) pairs with mystery author Bush (Ultra Violet) to pen a chilling tale. Jessie Brentwood was a student at St. Elizabeth's School in Oregon when she vanished 20 years ago. Still haunted by her disappearance, Det. "Mac" McNally reopens the case when bones believed to be Jessie's are discovered at the old school. Mac refocuses his investigation on Jessie's friends, especially Hudson Walker, Jessie's former boyfriend. The suspense escalates as Jessie's friends seem haunted by her presence, especially Becca Sutcliff, a woman hoping to rekindle her former romance with Hudson. Becca's frequent and terrifying visions are amplified as, one by one, Jessie's friends become victims of a vicious stalker. Swift pacing and an intriguing plot make this a first-rate supernatural thriller.

Excellent Read, Superb Writing Skill
A friend had suggested that I read this book, but I was skeptical due to it being outside the norm in reference to my genre of choice. Nevertheless, I purchased the book deciding to give it a read. To my own surprise, I found the writing to be very well delivered, and the words just flowed so smoothly together that it was a pleasure to turn each page. Okay,so the writing is outstanding but what about the story? Very well thought out and planned. There is a lot of mystery going on as well as criminal intent. I would really like to elaborate, but I not one who likes to write a review that becomes a spoiler alert for those who like to read reviews. The book is definitely worthwhile and is money well spent in my book (pun intended). I definitely will be reading more from this author. Thank you for the thrill ride!
Potential
The amount of sex the main character has immediately after learning her friends have been murdered is perplexing. Makes it feel desperate to be a steamy love/murder story and like cheap story telling.
