"Jar of Hearts grabs you by the throat! The perfect blend of riveting characters, chilling details, and gasping twists in this standout thriller will keep you frantically reading until the explosive end.” – Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of Right Behind You

This is the story of three best friends: one who was murdered, one who went to prison, and one who's been searching for the truth all these years . . .

When she was sixteen years old, Angela Wong—one of the most popular girls in school—disappeared without a trace. Nobody ever suspected that her best friend, Georgina Shaw, now an executive and rising star at her Seattle pharmaceutical company, was involved in any way. Certainly not Kaiser Brody, who was close with both girls back in high school.

But fourteen years later, Angela Wong's remains are discovered in the woods near Geo's childhood home. And Kaiser—now a detective with Seattle PD—finally learns the truth: Angela was a victim of Calvin James. The same Calvin James who murdered at least three other women.

To the authorities, Calvin is a serial killer. But to Geo, he's something else entirely. Back in high school, Calvin was Geo's first love. Turbulent and often volatile, their relationship bordered on obsession from the moment they met right up until the night Angela was killed.

For fourteen years, Geo knew what happened to Angela and told no one. For fourteen years, she carried the secret of Angela's death until Geo was arrested and sent to prison.

While everyone thinks they finally know the truth, there are dark secrets buried deep. And what happened that fateful night is more complex and more chilling than anyone really knows. Now the obsessive past catches up with the deadly present when new bodies begin to turn up, killed in the exact same manner as Angela Wong.

How far will someone go to bury her secrets and hide her grief? How long can you get away with a lie? How long can you live with it? Find out in Jennifer Hillier's Jar of Hearts.

Excellent- right to the end. This is the first book in a while that I’ve really enjoyed. It’s up there with the Guest List and Silent Patient -as far as readability and interest. The characters are definitely interesting and the story moves along well until the very end. Great book

Amazing, but grammatical errors galore. This storyline and writing of this book is amazing. It hooked me the first chapter and there were a few instances I was left open-mouthed because I didn’t see something coming. Most mysteries you have anticipation, this one will throw insane things out of left field and I love it! However, there are unfortunately many grammatical errors, which really bummed me out. There’s at least 1 every chapter and they are very obvious and can throw me off my reading zone, but it’s not enough to make me stop reading this amazingly juicy find!

Loved this book!. Great book. Didn’t want to put it down.

Disappointing!. Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hillier is set in Seattle, Washington. Fourteen years ago, Angela Wong disappeared without a trace and now her dismembered body has been found in the woods near Georgina “Geo” Shaw’s home. Detective Kaiser Brody, Geo’s best friend in high school, never suspected Geo was involved in such a heinous crime. They learn that Calvin James, Geo’s high school boyfriend, killed Angela and has since murdered three more women. Geo has kept the events of the night Angela was killed a secret, but, after reaching a plea deal, she testifies against Calvin at his trial. Geo is sentenced to five years at Hazelwood Correctional Institute. Towards the end of her stay she is visited by Kaiser and told that Calvin has escaped. Then new bodies start turning up in the woods killed in the exact manner at Angela. Geo is released, and she returns to her childhood home much to the neighbors’ dismay. As the body count rises, Geo recalls the events that led up to that fateful night. What really happened the night Angela died? Jar of Hearts had a good beginning that drew me in (the first third). After a while, though, the story took a downhill turn. The pace became slow and the story felt flat. I thought the story lacked depth and I found it to be predictable (reminded me of many other books that I have read). I wanted twists and turns that would surprise me and give me an OMG moment. The back and forth from the present to the past did not help. The characters lacked development and were one dimensional. I never felt the characters emotions (there should be hatred, anger, love, joy). I also wanted to know why Geo did the things she did. Geo is an unlikeable and unsympathetic character as were most of the individuals in the Jar of Hearts. I wanted to know why Geo was obsessed with Calvin (just one of my questions). Teenage naivete is an excuse that will only take a person so far. If a four-year-old knows the difference between right and wrong so should a teenager. I also felt Geo should have grown more as a person. One would hope that she would learn from her bad decisions and time in prison. The romance was unnecessary and did not add to the story. The ending was incomplete and anticlimactic. We are not given satisfactory answers that would wrap up the book and epilogue was unbelievable. I want to warn readers that the Jar of Hearts is a graphic story that contains extreme violence, crude comments, rape and foul language. Jar of Hearts was not the right book for me (I am in the minority on my opinion). Obtain a sample of the Jar of Hearts to see if it is it appeals to you. The cover for Jar of Hearts is beautiful and it is what drew me to the book.

A twisted thriller. It’s impossible to forgive the number of errors in this book. However, I enjoyed the plot. It became predictable at times but it was quit thrilling. I would have loved to have some interaction with the main character after her final scene.

A must read!. Excellent! Couldn’t put it down.

Ahhh. So good!

Jar of Hearts. Interesting, lots of potential but terrible ending; neatly wrapped up & sprinkled with unicorn dust.

Intense. I couldn’t stop reading. Dark and interesting

Absolutely obsessed !!. If you aren’t into murder, this isn’t the book for you. But I am totally obsessed with this book. Could read it for hours. It’s so hard to put down!! There’s so much happening that it doesn’t get boring!! Totally recommend.

Great reading. When I started this book I thought big deal some private school teenagers getting drunk and whatever. When I finished the book I thought it was a solid four plus stars with a remarkable plot and some of the best functioning dysfunctional characters around. I won’t spoil the novel for other readers by revealing more of the plot, but will say you learn what is going on now, what happened nineteen years earlier and what happened during Geo’s prison stay. Thanks to Net Galley and Minotaur Books for an ARC for an honest review.

Just okay. Plot was semi predictable. Writing was sub par.
