WHAT WE'LL BURN LAST

When Leyna spots someone who looks like her missing sister, Grace, years after she disappeared, the past comes to light--and so do brutal secrets. Megan Tusing narrates with emotion throughout this story, which weaves the backstories of two families who are intertwined by the disappearances of Grace and her boyfriend, Adam. Tusing portrays more than basic personality traits. She brings out deep-seated anger, resentment, and a conniving undertone as mothers battle each other and families deal with what they think happened to their loved ones. As a wildfire rages, Tusing stays emotionally invested every step of the way until the story's mystery is resolved. M.B. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2024]
