Review
I have nothing against smut books when I’m reading a romance novel but when I’m reading a thriller I totally do! I just don’t think these two go together. The spicy scenes add nothing to the plot. It’s just SO cringy! Vi has great potential as a thriller author, but she needs to let go of her romance writing if she truly wants to succeed as a thriller writer. Also, the protagonist wasn’t very likable. She was constantly horny and lives in a constant state of paranoia. Every side character in this book exists to make Elizabeth suspicious of them, to have sex with her, or both, and that got old quickly. I couldn’t finish this one.
❝ … the most dangerous lies are the kind and innocent person wants to be true! ❞

An English professor’s deadly past comes back to haunt her in this chilling and sexy thriller from #1New York Timesbestselling author Vi Keeland.
As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar. At least until she reads chapter one of TheReckoning, a tale about a high school senior who has an affair with her teacher. To anyone else it would be the beginning of a great page-turner, but to Elizabeth it is the beginning of the end.
She knows this story. It’s all familiar because she lived it. The girl in the story was her best friend Jocelyn, and Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end—with the professor dead. Because she was the one who killed him.
Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters? In an effort to find out, Elizabeth returns to her Louisiana hometown where it soon becomes clear that no matter how many years have gone by, she can’t escape her past.
