Fatal Remorse (Anya Rossi Book Book 1)

B.G. Frees' writing immerses the reader in the characters' dramatic storyline, and I connected deeply with Anya's character, experiencing every emotion alongside her. The setting of a close-knit town adds to the delicious tension, and I loved the twists. Another fantastic read!

Tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, the quiet town of Hearthstone hides buried secrets. When a beloved teacher is found dead by the lake on the same date and in the same spot where two students vanished twenty years earlier, panic sets in. Private investigator Peter Rubeck teams up with detective Craig Chase to dig into old cold cases. Each clue brings danger closer as they race to stop history from repeating itself.

I gave Fatal Remorse five stars from the first page. It’s B.G. Frees second book, and I think it’s even better than the first. I didn’t think that was possible. I could not put it down. Frees drops twist after twist so fast you’ll be turning pages to keep up. Peter and Craig’s partnership feels real and tense. The small-town setting adds that cozy vibe mixed with edge-of-your-seat suspense. Plus, the way past and present collide kept me guessing until the end.

The Vibes It Brings:

Hearthstone, NC is a quiet, close-knit community. Not much happens until one night the body of a local high school teacher is found at the same place where two students were found 20 years ago. As the police investigate, the community turns inward and the web of secrets binding the town together begin to see the lights of day. As the tension builds, so does the body count. Everyone in the town has something to hide, but is it safer to keeps the secrets buried?

Yet another gripping read from BG Frees. He manages to wrap not one, not two, but three twists into the book by the end. I might have to see a chiropractor after this one.

If you like your secrets dark and your twists mind blowing, then run to grab a copy of this! Don’t blame me if you can’t put it down and avoid all off your responsibilities just to get to the end.

I am incredibly sad that the sequel isn't immediately available!!! Fatal Remorse has so much going on, many, many characters with an incredible amount of secrets and inner demons. I never suspected the true disgusting villain until it was revealed. BG did a fantastic job with everything that went on he was flawless. can't wait for his next release.

Fatal Remorse grabbed my attention early and held it. I loved the short chapters, the interesting characters, and how the story slowly comes together through its twists and reveals. An engaging classic thriller and an easy recommendation.
