Oliana knows that every family has a secret, but she never expected hers to come from the grave.
High school senior Oliana Mercer dreams of attending the prestigious Reyersen Drama Academy and pursuing her acting career. But when tragedy strikes, Oliana discovers secrets hidden from her by her adopted parents, dimming the lights on her perfect world. As the sins of the past surface, Oliana finds herself caught up in a tug-of-war between two families while the love for her boyfriend is tested. Determined to find some form of happiness in life, Oliana becomes student director in the high school’s senior play. When her best friend, Devin Worthy, dies during dress rehearsal, Oliana is re-cast as the lead. Everyone thinks the death was a suicide, except Oliana, whose search for clues may be enough motive for the killer to murder again.

Rating & Review
3.5 out of 5
First, let me say I loved Oliana as a character. She’s interesting, and I’d love to get to know her better. The plot was interesting but moved almost too quickly for me, there was a lot of potential to build up more tension, but I don’t think there was enough time with how short the story is. I wouldn’t call this a thriller, but more of a light mystery. I would love to know more about Oliana’s past, as that ended up being the biggest mystery, and the way this ends implies that book two will give us more insight into that. I’d bump this to a four if more time had been spent building tension instead of speed-running the main storyline (who killed Oliana’s BFF and then targeted Oliana herself). Overall, a fast, interesting read.
