Goodreads Synopsis: She’s a pariah with a killer past. Her bid to escape it is nothing short of terrifying in a heart-pounding novel of suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent. Afton Teachout has been an outcast in her small town for twenty years—ever since she was accused of murdering her mother’s lover in a blackout fit of rage. That is, if one believes the malicious lies. Living with her grandmother, working a hotel night shift, and relying on pills to get a day’s sleep, Afton is due a little luck. It comes in the form of an unexpected financial windfall. With her newfound wealth, Afton sets a secret plan in motion to help her only friend, Sydney, flee a toxic husband. But the best intentions soon spin out of control. Afton is getting unsettling calls from a restricted number, and someone has been lingering outside her home. As Sydney’s troubled marriage comes into focus, so does Afton’s past. Her second chance—for herself and for Sydney—isn’t what she dreamed of at all. In fact, it’s becoming a nightmare. After Dark by Minka Kent | Goodreads Thank you to Minka Kent, Thomas & Mercer, and NetGalley for providing me with an ebook copy of After Dark for me to read and review. What a twisty, dark, compelling read. After Dark was filled with so many unique and interesting details that kept the reader guessing and actually led the reader down some misleading avenues all the way through most of the book. I definitely fell for some of those red herrings hook, line, and sinker at least in the beginning. The conclusion of the story definitely was unexpected in ways, but once you got part way through the book, certain parts became a bit predictable. It was still very enjoyable since even the parts that I managed to predict played out in unexpected ways. I definitely recommend After Dark to all thriller readers! 4 Stars!
