There are plot twists aplenty in Lake’s second novel. Shelby breaks her leg but is very quickly dragged out of hospital and along on a road trip by her normally reclusive mother. Can they drive faster than the lies threatening to catch up with them?

This is a very fast-paced and thrilling novel. Shelby is very easy to relate to and it’s lovely to read such a strong and determined protagonist firmly dealing with the very scary situations she finds herself in. The plot is layered with an interesting and rare look at both deaf culture and Native American folk tales and is richer for both of these aspects.

This novel is very hard to put down!
