‘OHHH SNAP!!! This book was GOOD!!... incredibly twisted, fascinating and had mind-blowing shocking revelations!... I was literally yelling into my Kindle!... Just WOW!! What an ending to an amazing read!!’ Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One hot summer’s evening, ten-year-old Piper Chase went off on her pink bicycle towards the dark woods on Black Heart Lane.

Detective Kimberley King knows that the first twenty-four hours in a missing child investigation are the most critical. Piper was heading to a sleepover at her best friend Miley’s house, just like a hundred times before. But now Piper’s grandparents are blaming themselves, shaking with grief, and Kimberley knows the family will never be the same. With no witnesses, and darkness falling, she begins to fear the worst. She longs to find the little girl with wide blue eyes and an infectious smile, but when her team discovers Piper’s body in a woodland clearing, lying on a bed of moss, something inside her dies.

Then she gets a call that chills her to the bone. Piper’s friend Miley has gone missing too.

Desperate to find the monster who has taken these little girls, Kimberley chases down all the leads she has. The summer camp counsellor, who the little girls hero-worshipped. Piper’s downbeat uncle, who arrived back in town the day she disappeared…

And as another dark night descends, Kimberley can’t stop thinking about Miley, trapped and frightened. With the clock ticking, Kimberley knows she must act fast, before another innocent life is stolen.

A gripping, heart-wrenching crime thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat, holding your breath. Last Day Alive is perfect for fans of Rachel Caine, Lisa Regan and Carol Wyer.

Jeneva Rose

Jeneva Rose

Before she became a household name in psychological thrillers, Jeneva Rose was just another writer with a story clawing at her insides, demanding to be told. Born in Wisconsin and now based in Chicago, Rose didn’t take the straight-and-narrow path to literary acclaim. Her journey wound through rejection letters, day jobs, and moments of self-doubt—the kind of gritty backdrop that often fuels the tension in her novels. And maybe that’s why her stories hit so hard: because they come from a place of persistence and a sharp understanding of human vulnerability.

Read more ...

Rose is best known for The Perfect Marriage, a twisty domestic suspense novel that captivated readers with its chilling premise and morally tangled characters. But she didn’t stop there. Her books dig into the uncomfortable spaces between love and betrayal, truth and perception. Whether it’s the unsettling mind games in You Shouldn’t Have Come Here or the slow unraveling of secrets in One of Us Is Dead, Rose has a gift for peeling back the surface of ordinary lives to reveal something far more sinister underneath.

What sets her apart in the crowded thriller space isn’t just her knack for shocking finales—it’s her ability to make readers squirm with the small, psychological truths that live between the lines. Her protagonists are rarely straightforward heroes. They’re flawed, often unreliable, and always compelling. It’s the kind of narrative sleight-of-hand that keeps her audience second-guessing long after the final page.

Though she writes fiction, Rose has always been drawn to the real—real motivations, real darkness, real consequences. That sense of authenticity bleeds into her prose, making her novels feel less like escapism and more like a mirror reflecting our own worst fears. With a loyal fanbase and growing recognition in the thriller genre, Jeneva Rose has carved out a place for herself as a voice that doesn’t just tell a story—it dares you to question it.
