In this gripping prequel to the blockbuster one million copy seller and Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick The Last Mrs. Parrish, readers will discover exactly how Amber Patterson transformed from small-town girl to master manipulator – after all, practice makes perfect.
Amber Patterson has many secrets. This much is clear when she sneaks out of her home in the dead of night and hitchhikes across state lines to meet up with a man she hasn’t seen or spoken to since high school graduation. So begins her desperate attempt to leave her old life behind, and she’ll use everything and everyone at her disposal, from social media stalking to the kindness of unsuspecting strangers, to get where she needs to go. It’s not long before she’s ready for the main event: armed with a new identity and a new purpose, she heads to Gunnison, Colorado, preparing herself to meet her future husband among the wealthy vacationers.
Even the smallest misstep could derail this carefully-laid plan, and in the end, can you ever truly outrun your past? The First Shot is an absorbing, binge-able thriller that shows just how far some will go to build the lives they want.

My Thoughts:
If like me you have only just discovered The Last Mrs Parrish, then you will be excited to know that the sequel The Next Mrs Parrish is being published in June 2024, but in case you can’t wait and need to know more about Amber, then THE FIRST SHOT is a short story about her early life and how she ended up in Connecticut.
We know that Amber has no boundaries and once she has has sights set on someone or something nothing and no-one will stand in her way and in THE FIRST SHOT, we find out more about her determination to get what she believes she deserves.
As deliciously wicked and outrageous as the first book, THE FIRST SHOT is a great introduction to Amber and for Kindle Unlimited members is absolutely FREE.
