Review: Someone Knows - Vi Keeland - June 2025 When I spotted this Vi Keeland paperback at BookHero NZ, I didn't hesitate. It's part of my ongoing mission to Clear my Physical Bookshelf (yes, it deserves capitals—it's that serious), and honestly, I was buzzing with excitement. I've devoured Vi Keeland's romance novels before, so when I heard she'd ventured into thriller territory, I was over the moon. A favorite author trying something new? Sign me up immediately. Someone Knows ticks several of my boxes right from the start. It's set in a university with a Creative Writing course—a setting I'm absolutely here for—and follows a storyline structure that always hooks me. Twenty years ago, Elizabeth and her friends helped kill their English teacher after catching him hurting and abusing their friend Jocelyn. The secret stayed buried. Until now. Elizabeth is living her life when she begins reading a manuscript submitted by one of her students. What she find...

Title: Someone Knows Author: Vi Keeland Publisher: S&S/Emily Bestler Books Genre: Standalone Thriller Release Date: June 17, 2025 BLURB As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar. At least until she reads chapter one of The Reckoning, a tale about a high school senior who has an affair with her teacher. To anyone else it would be the beginning of a great page-turner, but to Elizabeth it is the beginning of the end. She knows this story. It’s all familiar because she lived it. The girl in the story was her best friend Jocelyn, and Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end—with the teacher dead. Because she was the one who killed him. Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters? In an effort to find out, Elizabeth returns to her Louisiana hometown where it soon becomes clear that no ...

Title: Someone Knows Author: Vi Keeland Publisher: S&S/Emily Bestler Books Genre: Standalone Thriller Release Date: June 17, 2025 Take a sneak peek at SOMEONE KNOWS. You know you want to... A voice behind me catches me off guard. “Put hers on my tab, please, Willow.” I expect to find the mullet man when I turn, but I’m pleasantly surprised. Instead, there’s a tall, handsome—albeit too young for me—man with a deliciously crooked smile. That smile widens, unveiling a set of cavernous dimples. Oh my. “You are definitely not from around here,” he drawls. I swivel and face him for a better look. “Oh yeah? Why is that?” “Because the girls from these parts drink one of three things: White Claws, High Noons, or Jack and Coke. And the third I keep away from because that means they’re going to wind up sloppy drunk.” “I suppose the reason I don’t drink any of those is because I’m a woman , not a girl.” Dimples looks me up and down. There’s a sparkle in his eyes when they meet mine...

You know you want to... “And this is Wilder. Your partner for the ceremony.” She wagged a finger at him. “Be nice.” He smirked. “I’m always nice, love.” Ooh . . . Those eyes come with a British accent. The groomsman, whose name was apparently Wilder, gave me the once-over. His eyes dropped down to take in my dress, then raised to the top of my head, where the fascinator that looked more like mangled horns sat protruding from my skull. “You had on a different dress earlier. So the accident must’ve happened recently then?” “Accident?” He smirked and motioned to the fascinator. “I’m assuming there’s a giant wound under there, since you thought it was a good idea to put that dress on instead.” “Are you joking?” My hands flew to my hips. “Who insults someon...

Copyright © 2024 by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward I looked down at my cell and shook my head. “Why the long face?” My buddy Colby walked back into the kitchen and tossed me the keys to his car. “I didn’t think single guys with no kids and fat bank accounts had anything to stress over.” I caught the keys. “Bite me.” He chuckled. “No, really. Is everything alright? You were grumbling at your phone the other day when I walked into the elevator, too.” “Yeah, everything’s fine. Except one of the volunteers on the renovations team for the new Ryan’s House project is driving me nuts. You know how we pick two team leaders to help coordinate things on each job?” Colby nodded. “One for...
