I love getting my teeth into a good thriller and The Pact by Sharon Bolton is like a big, juicy steak. The characters are so vivid and the writing is so insightful that I loved every page. This clever book about six talented friends and the consequences of a very stupid thing they do. The daredevil game goes wrong and a woman and her two children die. It is heart-rendering stuff and someone must pay the price.
One of the friends, Meghan, takes the blame and pays a huge price. When she is released from prison the real fun begins. This is a clever and entertaining book that leaves you gripped all the way to the end.
A golden summer, and six talented friends are looking forward to the brightest of futures – until a daredevil game goes horribly wrong, and a woman and two children are killed.
18-year-old Megan takes the blame, leaving the others free to get on with their lives. In return, they each agree to a ‘favour’, payable on her release from prison.
Twenty years later Megan is free.
Let the games begin . . .
