Lies Like Wildfire

The group at the center of this story, known to one another as the monsters, has grown up together, and their final summer before college is supposed to be about easy days, new romances and plans for the future. That changes when an accident sparks a forest fire that tears through their hometown, destroying homes and leaving people dead in its wake.

Desperate to keep the truth buried, the friends agree to a pact of silence. But the secret soon spins out of control, and when one of them disappears, everyone becomes a suspect. Readers learn how it all begins right away, but the book keeps them guessing about where it will end.

Secrets and lies run through every page, and readers who enjoyed One of Us Is Lying may find this a good match.
