Praise for Dead Girls Can't Smile

​

​

“My first book by this author and it pulled me in from the start, and didn’t let go. When Rose’s sister, Lily, goes missing, Rose feels guilty for not making sure she got home safe. Lily is stuck with her kidnapper who’s in love with her. Will she ever escape? Fast paced thriller and I liked reading from the two sisters POV."
