"Jar of Hearts grabs you by the throat! The perfect blend of riveting characters, chilling details, and gasping twists in this standout thriller will keep you frantically reading until the explosive end.” – Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of Right Behind You

This is the story of three best friends: one who was murdered, one who went to prison, and one who's been searching for the truth all these years . . .

When she was sixteen years old, Angela Wong―one of the most popular girls in school―disappeared without a trace. Nobody ever suspected that her best friend, Georgina Shaw, now an executive and rising star at her Seattle pharmaceutical company, was involved in any way. Certainly not Kaiser Brody, who was close with both girls back in high school.

But fourteen years later, Angela Wong's remains are discovered in the woods near Geo's childhood home. And Kaiser―now a detective with Seattle PD―finally learns the truth: Angela was a victim of Calvin James. The same Calvin James who murdered at least three other women.

To the authorities, Calvin is a serial killer. But to Geo, he's something else entirely. Back in high school, Calvin was Geo's first love. Turbulent and often volatile, their relationship bordered on obsession from the moment they met right up until the night Angela was killed.

For fourteen years, Geo knew what happened to Angela and told no one. For fourteen years, she carried the secret of Angela's death until Geo was arrested and sent to prison.

While everyone thinks they finally know the truth, there are dark secrets buried deep. And what happened that fateful night is more complex and more chilling than anyone really knows. Now the obsessive past catches up with the deadly present when new bodies begin to turn up, killed in the exact same manner as Angela Wong.

How far will someone go to bury her secrets and hide her grief? How long can you get away with a lie? How long can you live with it? Find out in Jennifer Hillier's Jar of Hearts.

I finally got around to reading this! It is the first book I am reading by Jennifer Hillier and I was expecting great things after all the praise her novels are getting currently. And I can honestly tell you that she really delivered with this one! This story was gripping from the start and I couldn't really put it down. The writing is beautiful - even if the topics are definitely not most of the time. I got really invested in Geo's story and would recommend this book to any other thriller book lover out there. Nonetheless, I do have to say that towards the end there was a point where a (big) part of the twist was really obvious but I am not sure if Jennifer Hillier even had the intention of hiding it anymore. I think I would have enjoyed it a little more if she left us in the dark a little bit longer. There was also another scene shortly before the ending in which I had to suspend my disbelief a little because of the sudden reveal of something that wasn't really explained before or after. That is also the only reason why I was debating giving this book four stars instead of five. But after all, I enjoyed my time with this so much - I decided on five stars (or 4.5 rounded up, if you want to be precise).
