Synopsis

Before the fire, it was the perfect place to raise a family.
An idyllic community where neighbors knew one another…
or so they thought.

Jenna Abbott’s life went up in flames even before the fire started in Tenmile, Oregon. She was still coping with her husband's affair—and the revelation that he got a much younger woman pregnant—when the fire finally died down, and Ryan was among the missing.  

Chelsea Goddard still can’t explain how her estranged husband got back to Tenmile from out of the country the day of the fire, and she also can’t shake the nagging feeling that the secrets they’ve kept between them for the last twenty years might just be the tinder that made it all burn.

Morgan White knew getting involved with a married man was wrong, even before she got pregnant. She might be the only one who knows the truth about some of Tenmile's leading citizens…but people would have to stop treating her like a pariah to hear it.

Alex Coleman doesn’t remember anything from that fateful day, why she was found wandering on a rural road or why she has dreams of standing on scorched earth, holding a book of matches.

For four women, when the flames finally burn out, what’s left behind will be even more devastating than the fire itself…

Goodreads review by Melissa (Semi-hiatus for Work) on May 25, 2023

This book wasn't what I was expecting, but it turned out to be a worthwhile read overall once I figured out who was who and how they were all connected. There are a large number of characters, and it does take a while to keep them straight. A wildfire occurs in Tenmile, Oregon and many of the reside......more

Goodreads review by Kelsey on April 08, 2023

2.5/5 stars! The premise of this story set the stage for an edgy and dark thriller, but the story didn't read this way. It felt like a confusing mishmash of a few different stories that didn't come together cohesively. I think individually the characters were well-developed but it took me half the s......more

Goodreads review by Cydnie on August 26, 2023

3.5 I was so excited to read this book. It’s not what I expected. The build up was good. Had me guessing, trying to piece it all together. The ending was not what I expected but overall pretty meh. The ending felt like a rush to tie up all the loose ends. It’s a shame because it had good potential.......more
