Unfriendly Secrets

This is a strong debut that hooked me from the first chapter. The tension builds quietly, then snaps in a way I never saw coming. I loved the alternating past‑and‑present timeline and the shifting character POVs, each adding depth and momentum. The author plants clever clues for both the characters and the reader, making it easy to guess along and adding to the mystery‑solving fun. A sharp, confident first novel with an ending that completely blindsided me.
Can't wait for Nicholas's next book!
