Synopsis

The headlines say she killed her family. The truth? She doesn't remember.

Andrea McNulty goes to sleep on her eighteenth birthday with a near-perfect life. The next morning, she wakes up covered in blood. Her parents were killed in the middle of the night . . . and she's the prime suspect.

Andrea McNulty has a wonderful life: she's a high school field hockey star, a doted-upon big sister, the beloved daughter of two happy parents. But when she wakes up in a motel room the morning after her eighteenth birthday, she's covered in blood and can't remember what happened the previous night.

According to the news, Andi's parents were brutally attacked in the middle of the night. Her father is dead, her mother is in a coma, her little brother Josh is missing—and Andi is the prime suspect. Terrified and on the run from the police, Andi teams up with Nate, the sympathetic boy working the motel's front desk, to find the real murderer. But while the police are getting further from the killer, the killer is getting closer to Andi—closer than she could ever have imagined.

Goodreads review by Melissa (Semi-hiatus for Work) on July 22, 2021

Very exciting but a few plot holes and storylines that went nowhere. Overall good YA mystery. Andrea wakes up in a motel room covered in blood and finds out that her father has been murdered, her mother is severely injured, and her little brother is missing.

Goodreads review by Darla on June 26, 2021

This one sounded so engaging, but I had a really hard time relating to Andie. I know her life was coming unglued at the seams, but she really made some bad choices. The book does do a good job of illustrating the way a media narrative can cement the way someone is perceived. That was heartbreaking a......more

Goodreads review by Paula on June 19, 2021

As a fan of YA thrillers and mysteries, this book had captured my attention from the get-go and also the fact that I had previously read Twisted by Hannah Jayne and had a couple more of her books on my kindle to read. I didn't know exactly what I was in for but going in blind is often when the best......more

Goodreads review by Reagan on January 07, 2023

I don't think I have anything good to say about this. I hated the author's writing style. It felt unbelievably fake. And the ending was extremely rushed and unfinished. Also, Andrea is just plain stupid. Police dropboxes? That's not naive, just stupid.......more
