Hiding secrets comes at a price.

Eva Boucher’s friends plan on throwing her an unforgettable bridal shower at a remote country estate. But the night before the shower, Eva receives an ominous message: Secrets will be revealed tomorrow. Will they be yours? Distraught, she calls her friends to find out if this is a game they have arranged, only to discover that all the bridesmaids received the same message and are equally shaken.

Fearful that someone is out to sabotage her wedding, but not knowing who, or why, Eva proceeds with the shower. All goes well until she opens an anonymous gift and discovers a bloody knife buried beneath layers of white tissue paper. During the confusion that follows, things take an even more chilling turn when her future mother-in-law vanishes.

Is someone intent on derailing Eva's wedding, or are they protecting her from a toxic secret she knows nothing about?

- Settle in for a twisty tale with an electrifying ending! -

N.L. Hinkens

N.L. Hinkens

Growing up among the misty hills of Ireland, N.L. Hinkens learned early that every shadow had a story and every whispered rumor could become a chilling tale. Today, that same gift for uncovering the sinister beneath the ordinary defines her work as a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of psychological thrillers. Hinkens crafts tightly wound suspense where ordinary people find themselves in extraordinary danger, and trust is always a loaded question.

Before she found her voice in the world of psychological suspense, Hinkens wrote epic fantasy and post-apocalyptic adventures for young adults, sharpening her skill for weaving intricate plots and compelling character arcs. But it was the slow-burn tension of psychological thrillers that eventually captured her imagination—and her heart. Readers now know her for novels like The Cabin Below and The Caregiver, where the walls seem to close in as secrets unravel and no one is ever quite who they seem.

Influenced by the storytelling traditions of her Irish roots, Hinkens builds her thrillers with the precision of a puzzle master. She starts at the end—crafting her signature shocking twists—and meticulously works backward, ensuring that each chapter tightens the noose a little more. Her commitment to layered narratives and page-turning suspense has earned her accolades, including the Grand Prize from the Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

Now based in the United States, N.L. Hinkens continues to deliver fast-paced psychological thrillers that explore the darker sides of trust, loyalty, and survival. Whether trapped in a remote cabin or navigating the dangers of seemingly safe suburban life, her characters—and her readers—are never quite safe until the final page.

For those who crave thrillers filled with sharp turns, flawed heroes, and endings that linger long after the book is closed, Hinkens' novels are an irresistible draw into the shadows.
