An explosive, edge-of-your-seat read about three friends, one murder, and a whole world of secrets...

Angela was one of the most popular girls in her high school before she disappeared without a trace. Nobody ever knew what became of her--not Georgina, her best friend, nor Kaiser, who was close with both girls. Then, fourteen years later, Angela's remains were discovered in the woods near Geo's childhood home and Kaiser--who became a detective with the Seattle police department--finally learned the truth: Angela was a victim of Calvin James.

To the authorities, Calvin was a notorious serial killer. But back in the day, Calvin was Geo's first love. Their relationship bordered on obsession from the moment they met, right up until the night Angela was killed. Geo carried the secret of Calvin's dark deeds until the evidence landed her in prison. But now, just as Geo is about to be released, new bodies start turning up--killed in the exact same manner as Angela. . . and soon Geo, Kaiser, and local law enforcement officials realize that what happened that fateful night is more complex and chilling than anyone could have imagined.

"Thrilling...terrifying, Jar of Hearts is definitely not something you've read before."--Cleveland Plain Dealer

Great Book

I really enjoyed this book, and the ending was not what I expected it to be at all. Jennifer Hillier has not disappointed with any of the books I’ve read from at this point.

Amazing read!

The thriller and twist at the end tied everything altogether. I enjoyed reading this from start to finish and I couldn't put it down!

Happy Reader

If you’re like me and love a good thriller, this is the book for you. I could not put it down! I found myself NEEDING to keep reading because I NEEDED to know what twist was coming next. Definitely recommend giving this book a try, I’m excited to try out another book by Hillier

Very good

Jar of hearts' was different to my usual read in a good way; though there was something about the cover that drew me in and I had to get this book. I was glad I did. 'Jar of hearts' is very well wrote with plenty to keep the reader hooked, following Geo at different parts of her life leading to now from her part in the murder of her best friend to the shocking twist at the finale. This book was not light hearted, easy reading, but it was compelling with believable characters, and a well thought out plot, leaving little to the imagination. Before 'Jar of hearts' I had not heard of this author but I will most probably read more of her work and would recommend this book to a friend. Very good read.
