    About this ebook

    SOME TRUTHS ARE BETTER KEPT SECRET.
    SOME SECRETS ARE BETTER OFF DEAD.

    Along the banks of the Bogue Falaya River, sits the abandoned St. Francis Seminary. Beneath a canopy of oaks, blocked from prying eyes, the teens of St. Benedict High gather here on Fridays. The rest of the week belongs to school and family—but weekends belong to the river.

    And the river belongs to Beau Devereaux.

    The only child of a powerful family, Beau can do no wrong. Handsome. Charming. Intelligent. The star quarterback of the football team. The "prince" of St. Benedict is the ultimate catch.

    He is also a psychopath.

    A dirty family secret buried for years, Beau's evil grows unchecked. In the shadows of the ruined St. Francis Abbey, he commits unspeakable acts on his victims and ensures their silence with threats and intimidation. Senior year, Beau sets his sights on his girlfriend's headstrong twin sister, Leslie, who hates him. Everything he wants but cannot have, she will be his ultimate prize.

    As the victim toll mounts, it becomes crystal clear that someone has to stop Beau Devereaux.

    And that someone will pay with their life.

    WARNING: Readers of Death by the River will encounter situations of violence and sexual abuse/rape which could be upsetting.

      This is a really engaging and captivating read. It really kept my attention. This book is written by two authors. Yet, I could not tell where one stopped and the next one picked up. When this happens, this is a really good thing. You don't want to really tell the parts two different authors wrote; otherwise, the story has a clunky feel to it. Beau is definitely the monster in this story. He was despised by not just the women but by me as well. This was the whole point. So that when Beau was served his "justice", there was no love lost or tears spilled. Leslie is the stronger of the two sisters. She did not fall under Beau's spell like her sister. Warning as there are a couple "rape" scenes. They are tough to read. The best part about this book is the ending. I never saw the twist coming. I look forward to reading more books from both of these authors.
    • 5/5
      A fantastic read that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end! I highly recommend it to anyone who's in the mood for something dark and memorable.
