From the bestselling author of Burying the Honeysuckle Girls comes a riveting novel about a mother and daughter separated by grief, secrets, and a conspiracy that threatens to destroy their lives.
If there’s a healthy way to grieve, Erin Gaines hasn’t found it. After her husband’s sudden death, the runaway success of the tech company they built with their best friends has become overwhelming. Her nerves are frayed, she’s disengaged, and her frustrated daughter, Shorie, is pulling away from her. Maybe Erin’s friends and family are right. Maybe a few weeks at a spa resort in the Caribbean islands is just what she needs to hit the reset button…
Shorie is not only worried about her mother’s mental state but also for the future of her parents’ company. Especially when she begins to suspect that not all of Erin’s colleagues can be trusted. It seems someone is spinning an intricate web of deception—the foundation for a conspiracy that is putting everything, and everyone she loves, at risk. And she may be the only one who can stop it.
Now, thousands of miles away in a remote, and oftentimes menacing, tropical jungle, Erin is beginning to have similar fears. Things at the resort aren’t exactly how the brochure described, and unless she’s losing her mind, Erin’s pretty sure she wasn’t sent there to recover—she was sent to disappear.
When I saw this book available on NetGalley and I had the cover, I was like Oh……My……..Gosh….. I NEED to read this book. I had never heard of Emily Carpenter, the author, but when I looked her up, I see she’s no stranger to writing some super awesome books! When I requested, and was approved to review this book on NetGalley, I got pretty excited.
Until the Day I Die by Emily Carpenter is about Erin Gaines, who is sent away to a “retreat facility” when her family decides she is not handling the sudden death of her husband. Of course, as expected, things aren’t what they seem at the facility and restful retreat is exactly what it isn’t. My heart was racing from cover to cover on this one. (I had to put the book down at one point just to get relaxed since I am recovering from a recent brain bleed.)
And then there’s Erin’s daughter, Shorie – a strong and intelligent girl. She knows something isn’t right with her mom and she knows something isn’t right with her parents company so she goes digging for the truth even when she’s not sure who to trust.
The author definitely kept me glued thanks to the back-and-forth pages between the mother and daughter’s chapters in this story. The characters were well developed and the story was well written – slightly implausible at times but hey, it’s fiction, right?
