Happy Release Day!
I was there. I saw what you did.
Blaise
I wasn’t supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land’s End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward.
Connections run deep in our small town.
I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I’d always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things.
I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I’d known all my life. I’ve been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised.
Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps.
I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge for another second.
Finally, I report what I saw, and all hell breaks loose for me and others who were at that long-ago party. Some of them will do whatever it takes to keep the truth from coming to light…even if they have to kill me.
In the midst of an epic battle, a new love gives me the strength to stay strong, to fight for my life and to right a terrible wrong.

I don’t know how that’ll go, and the not knowing only adds to my anxiety as I drive across the bridge into Hope.
Every nerve in my body is on full alert as I take the familiar roads to home, traversing the same route I did on that long-ago night after witnessing the crime that changed everything.
I park behind my mother’s silver Toyota Camry and take a long moment to look at the two-story Colonial home where I was raised. It’s been painted a darker shade of grey, and the shutters are now black. They were red when I lived there.
Mom comes out of the house, smiling with excitement that’s been sorely lacking in her since Dad died. She’s visited me often in the city, but I know she’s yearned for me to come home.
I hug her on the sidewalk.
“It’s so good to have you here, my sweet girl.”
“It’s good to be home.”
My Review
Riveting!
Marie Force weaves an intricate tale where one horrific decision creates a disturbing ripple effect wreaking havoc in its wake. Nobody gets out unscathed.
In the Air Tonight is a powerful read with multiple narratives that help shape the novel into a vivid three-dimensional reading experience. The storyline is engaging, dynamic, purposeful, and meticulously detailed.
The character development is excellent and many of the characters are multifaceted, complex, and morally complicated. In some instances, there is no clear line between “good” guys or “bad” guys. It was fascinating watching the characters struggle (or not struggle) with the difficult situations they find themselves in. Weighing their beliefs, values, morals, and norms against the influence of their environments, and the unfortunate outcomes that follow.
Checking your trigger warnings are strongly suggested. SA, and the trauma that accompanies it is the theme of the book and may be difficult for some readers
In The Air Tonight immediately grabbed my attention and held me captive until the very end. The suspense is thrilling, the romance is delicate, and the plot is explosive! Highly recommend it!
