About this ebook

An English professor’s deadly past comes back to haunt her in this chilling and sexy thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vi Keeland.

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 professor 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 matter how many years have gone by, she can’t escape her past.

Ratings and reviews

SOMEONE KNOWS by Vi Keeland is a contemporary, adult, thriller focusing on thirty-seven year old English professor Elizabeth Davis.SOMEONE KNOWS is a detailed, complex and twisted story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, dysfunctional family dynamics. From addiction and abuse to mental illness and murder, and the righteousness of religious beliefs, we are up close and personal with the lives destroyed by one man, and his lecherous need to extinguish young minds.

Wow, I can't even begin to tell you how stunned I am after reading this thrilling and steamy romance. I was so invested in Elizabeth, and how she was trying to find the person taunting her with her past. Elizabeth is an English Professor in New York when a mystery student starts sending her chapters of a story that included haunting details from her past that only she would know, and is desperate to keep hidden. I was totally consumed by this breathtaking and addictive story!

Holy heck, what a ride! Just when you think you’ve figured it out, this author pulls the rug out from under you. The twist? It doesn’t just surprise, it shocks! With a storyline so intricately woven and impossible to walk away from, I devoured every page late into the night. Warning: Clear your schedule…this book will take over your life!
