Will End in Fire by Nicole Bokat #bookreview @suzyapbooktours

Overview

For fans of Kate White suspense novels, Will End in Fire is a heart-racing domestic thriller about an alienated young woman who must find an arsonist before her own life goes up in smoke.

Twenty-seven-year-old climate journalist Ellie Stone has spent her life locked in an unending sibling rivalry with her brother, Josh—star athlete and golden boy–turned–drug addict. One night, after their parents have left her to “babysit” Josh, she and he have a blow-up and she abandons him. Soon after, the house is engulfed in fire—and Josh is burnt beyond recognition. Social media takes this on as a local cause célèbre, blaming Ellie since, years ago, she was involved in a blaze that scarred a teenage girl. Is history repeating itself?

In shock, Ellie can’t recall if she left a lit cigarette in her family home. But could this suspected arson have something to do with the unknown vehicle that was spotted nearby? The only people sympathetic to Ellie are her brother’s best pal—who quickly becomes her new romantic partner—and Josh’s girlfriend, who lets on that their relationship might not have been what it seemed. As she grows closer to her brother’s inner circle, Ellie discovers secrets that make her question whom to trust, how to stay out of danger, and how to save her future.

Review

Ellie is 27 years old and has been called home to New Jersey to “babysit” her 24 year old brother, Josh. Josh is addicted to prescription medication. Ellie soon realizes she has forgotten her work computer and so she turns around to go get it and when she comes back home, the house is on fire. This leaves, her parents crushed and Elli in the depths of guilt. If she had not left, this would not have happened.

This is more than just suspense or a mystery. This is about family and trauma of drug addiction.

I enjoyed how this story unfolded. It is set during Covid. And there are several twist and turns that are revealed.

Need a twisty tale with family drama…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel for a honest review.
