The Bridal Shower
Hiding secrets comes at a price.
Eva Boucher’s friends plan on throwing her an unforgettable bridal shower at a remote country estate. But the night before the shower, Eva receives an ominous message: Secrets will be revealed tomorrow. Will they be yours? Distraught, she calls her friends to find out if this is a game they have arranged, only to discover that all the bridesmaids received the same message and are equally shaken.
Fearful that someone is out to sabotage her wedding, but not knowing who, or why, Eva proceeds with the shower. All goes well until she opens an anonymous gift and discovers a bloody knife buried beneath layers of white tissue paper. During the confusion that follows, things take an even more chilling turn when her future mother-in-law vanishes.
Is someone intent on derailing Eva's wedding, or are they protecting her from a toxic secret she knows nothing about?

N.L. Hinkens
Growing up among the misty hills of Ireland, N.L. Hinkens learned early that every shadow had a story and every whispered rumor could become a chilling tale. Today, that same gift for uncovering the sinister beneath the ordinary defines her work as a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of psychological thrillers. Hinkens crafts tightly wound suspense where ordinary people find themselves in extraordinary danger, and trust is always a loaded question.
Before she found her voice in the world of psychological suspense, Hinkens wrote epic fantasy and post-apocalyptic adventures for young adults, sharpening her skill for weaving intricate plots and compelling character arcs. But it was the slow-burn tension of psychological thrillers that eventually captured her imagination—and her heart. Readers now know her for novels like The Cabin Below and The Caregiver, where the walls seem to close in as secrets unravel and no one is ever quite who they seem.
