From New York Times best-selling author Aleatha Romig comes a stand-alone new-adult, romantic thriller where love is new, and monsters lurk in expensive suits behind million-dollar smiles.
Woodland Cliffs Country Club is the crown jewel of the small Monterey-area seaside town. It’s comfortable stomping grounds for those born to money and opportunity. With the club’s esteemed members from near and far, it’s not unusual to spot celebrities, business tycoons, or those with even more power.
It isn’t the glamour or intrigue that attracts Rae Watson to seek a summer job at the Cliffs. As a struggling college student, she simply wants to earn money for her senior year at the university and concentrate on classes.
When Rae’s friend helps secure her summer employment at the Cliffs, Rae willingly accepts. She quickly learns there’s more to the Cliffs, particularly the hidden world of those the country club employs.
The lives of the elite and those who serve them are worlds apart.
What will that mean for Rae and the handsome blue-eyed college student who makes her swoon?
Will she discover the secrets purged from the high cliffs, waiting to be found on the rocky shores, or will she find herself on the edge?
Have you been Aleatha’d?

This book grips you from the discovery of the first victim to the final one. Outstanding writing and characterization.
Even though there's multitudes of them from Bernie Maze to Turners to Sarah. They all contribute towards the entangled mystery. The best part is everything unfolds right in front of your eyes which built up to a heart pounding pace that continued to increase in the last quarter of the book. Yet you still are left with a hanging jaw and thumping nerves.
" the edge was the precipice where a person must make a decision—step back or go over. It wasn’t that every cliff was like the ones on the seaside near Woodland. The way she described it, the edge was meant to be breached".
Many a times the story balances On The Edge and the next sequences pushes it over it.
Aleatha has a wonderful ability to make you feel as if you were right there watching the events unfold in this fast paced and nail biting thriller and this is exactly how to describe this fantastic mystery.
Not only was the story line exceptional, it was so descriptive that you could picture what you were reading, as if you were watching it on television or in the movies, Infact it SHOULD be optioned for a movie!!
"The metaphorical edge was what made me hard. Fear was such an enticing emotion. It crackled like lightning in their eyes, emanated in a sweet scent from their pores, and propelled their actions. It was a stimulus that demanded obedience, a threat that punished defiance, and a promise that lingered beneath the surface, keeping them on edge. "
Mindblowing crime drama with lots of edges to stand over pondering, do I go straight or take the path towards the beach where the danger lies.
3 cheers for Aleatha, ye of Devious mind!!
5 stars for Detentions and Declines
