One of BookBub's "Must-Read Mysteries and Thrillers of 2025"

"Complex, haunting, and full of shocking twists, this corker of a story shows how the deadly combination of jealousy, misplaced passion, revenge, obsession, and even love can have devastating consequences."--Booklist

"Jones makes good use of alternating timelines to build tension, and Nicole's maternal nightmare feels frighteningly real. This is a good bet for fans of Lisa Unger."--Publishers Weekly

"Those nostalgic for the music of the '80s, intrigued by a spiraling plot, and mesmerized by star-crossed lovers will enjoy uncovering the tragedy of Secret Oktober and the band's biggest fans."--Library Journal

"Well paced, intelligent, and tightly plotted, this novel will appeal not only to lovers of suspense but anyone with a penchant for stories that explore the fraught relationship between obsessive love and fame. A riveting thriller about people caught up in--and destroyed by--the glitter of fandom."--Kirkus Reviews

"A crackling thriller . . . This a story of old wounds, painful realizations, and a high-octane search set to the synthesized sound of the 1980s."--Oprah Daily
