Masks Crack, Tensions Snap
(Blooming #3)
For her seventeenth birthday, all Sloane wants is a laid-back get together with her closest friends. But when Cristian offers his mansion as a peace offering, she knows nothing good can come from the token gesture. Because party favors can’t fix all the damage that has been done.
Dorian is desperate to win back Allie’s trust. Tatum can barely stand being in the same room as Cristian. And Emory is caught between her step-sister and her oldest friend. With unresolved feelings and unspoken grievances thick in the air, the night is already a powder keg of emotions.
But their infighting becomes the least of their problems when Noah breaks in with two accomplices and a loaded gun. The once celebratory night spirals into a nightmarish game of survival as Noah holds them hostage, revealing he has scores to settle with everyone present.
As midnight approaches, the fractured friend group must face their shared past and a terrifying present if they want to make it through the night.
