LOL, what? I did not expect that ending!! My head is reeling trying to come up with theories, and I definitely did not come close. 😂 It makes total sense in hindsight, but DAMN. That is good. The characters are annoying AF most of the time. I kept hoping someone would make a good decision at some point, but these people are a hot mess. I loved it.
Dark academia, a ten-year-old murder, a group of friends that appear thick as thieves on the surface. But, boy, do they have their secrets. The anxiety is intense. I tried to spoil the ending because I just couldn’t take it anymore, but spoilers are hard to find. I’m actually glad because that ending is great.
Jess is awful, and the more we learn about her, the more I hate her. And yet I still really want her to get a happy ending. I’m not sure what that says about me. 😅
This is a new favorite thriller of mine for sure. You should definitely add this to your fall TBR! 🤩
Grade: A
Summary:
Six friends.
One college reunion.
One unsolved murder.Ten years after graduation, Jessica Miller has planned her triumphant return to her southern, elite Duquette University, down to the envious whispers that are sure to follow in her wake. Everyone is going to see the girl she wants them to see—confident, beautiful, indifferent. Not the girl she was when she left campus, back when Heather Shelby’s murder fractured everything, including the tight bond linking the six friends she’d been closest to since freshman year.
But not everyone is ready to move on. Not everyone left Duquette ten years ago, and not everyone can let Heather’s murder go unsolved. Someone is determined to trap the real killer, to make the guilty pay. When the six friends are reunited, they will be forced to confront what happened that night—and the years’ worth of secrets each of them would do anything to keep hidden.
Told in racing dual timelines, with a dark campus setting and a darker look at friendship, love, obsession, and ambition, In My Dreams I Hold A Knife is an addictive, propulsive read you won’t be able to put down.
