I was there. I saw what you did.


Blaise

I wasn’t supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land’s End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward. 

Connections run deep in our small town. 

I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I’d always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things. 

I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I’d known all my life. I’ve been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised. 

Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps.

I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge for another second. 

Finally, I report what I saw, and all hell breaks loose for me and others who were at that long-ago party. Some of them will do whatever it takes to keep the truth from coming to light…even if they have to kill me. 

In the midst of an epic battle, a new love gives me the strength to stay strong, to fight for my life, and to right a terrible wrong.

Content warning: A sexual assault storyline may be upsetting to some readers.


My Review
Honestly, where Blaise is concerned, I don't really blame her for her silence on not revealing the truth and waiting for so long to come forward. While she was seventeen and at an age to understand what was happening, she was still a young girl. The most important thing is that she did come forward. 

Denise being the victim, it must have been really hard for her to have to stand up for justice. Yet, I found that she did show strength. This is also because she had her dad and her then boyfriend and now husband, Kane supporting her. The way that Denise's father supported her when he first learned the news was so endearing. Also, the fact that Kane never doubted Denise is great. 

I was invested in Denise's story. All of the characters had purpose in the story. This was a fast read for me.
