It’s terrifying how quickly everything can be taken away from you. Iris learns this agonizing lesson in the blink of an eye. Her future dreams. Her past life. Everything gone in a storm of pain. But this pain is only the beginning.
AUDREY
Audrey had the perfect life. Great husband, beautiful daughter, lots of money. Except her husband isn’t the man she thought he was. Her dead husband’s burner phone was bad. The Polaroids were worse. But the secrets she uncovers next set her entire world on fire.
BURNER
Two women’s lives intersect because of one man’s actions. The transformation is pristine, and beautiful, and filled with pain. Sometimes the scars are on the inside.
"Shh...That's ok, it happens sometimes."
Told on two timelines from the points of view of two very different women. Audrey, the too trusting wife and mother, happy to let her husband handle all things financial, secure in the knowledge that funds are always available on her debit card. Of course, trust is a necessary part of marriage, but trust should never mean blind and unconditional acceptance with nothing to support it as fact.
And Iris, the soon to be doctor, soon to be engaged to the love of her life, ready to travel the world helping children.
But that was then. This is now. These women's lives are about to collide.
I'm not going to talk about the plot much. It would be too difficult without accidentally letting any spoilers slip in. I will say it involves torture and revenge, and the pitfalls of being too trusting a wife.
The writing style is as magnificent as the subject matter is brutal. The scariest part of Burner is that it can happen, and does happen. The white vans are everywhere.
