From the bestselling author of HER and The Social Affair comes a darkly immersive, emotionally gripping domestic thriller where deception is survival, truth is a weapon, and the cost of keeping secrets may be higher than anyone is willing to pay.

If you passed me on the street, you wouldn't look twice.

I have it all-the husband, the kids, the house on the hill. Hell, I even have the white picket fence. I am the American dream.

But here's the thing about dreams: they shatter.

Beneath the surface, my life is coming undone. One mistake-one decision I never should have made-has set off a chain reaction I can't stop.

I know how this looks. But you don't know the full story.

Because the thing about secrets is, the truth doesn't set you free-it buries you.

So, let's play a game. You decide what's real and what's not. You tell me if I deserve what's coming.

Around the Bend is a gripping, emotionally charged psychological thriller about the lies we tell, the choices that break us, and the truth that refuses to stay buried. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, B.A. Paris, and twist-filled domestic thrillers that keep you questioning until the final page.

What readers are saying about Around the Bend:

"This book is a slow-burning psychological thriller that tightens around your throat like a noose. The way the author unravels this woman's life-one choice at a time-had me turning pages like my own sanity depended on it. If you love books that blur the line between guilt and innocence, deception and self-preservation, this one's for you." - Goodreads review

"What. A. Ride. I went from thinking, oh, I know exactly where this is going, to having my jaw hit the floor in the final chapters. Emotionally gripping, deeply unsettling, and absolutely binge-worthy. This is a suspense thriller that will hijack your day because you won't be able to stop reading." - Goodreads review

"Dark, haunting, and so unnervingly real. What I loved most about this book is how it makes you question your own judgment-who do you trust? Who's telling the truth? What happens when the world starts to see you as something you're not? The unraveling is brutal, beautiful, and oh-so-twisted." - Goodreads review

"This isn't just a thriller-it's a reckoning. I devoured every page, and when I hit the ending, I just sat there, stunned. The writing is sharp, the tension is absolutely suffocating, and the story is one that will stick with you long after you close the book. If you love twisty, emotional domestic thrillers that feel like watching a life implode in real time, don't skip this one." - Goodreads review

"The kind of book that pulls you in, wraps around you like a vice, and refuses to let go. If you love psychological suspense where every chapter peels back another layer of deception, Around the Bend will wreck you in the best way possible." - Goodreads review
