'The perfect blend of suspense, intrigue, and sun-soaked drama . . . a must-read for anyone who loves atmospheric thrillers!' Reader review, 5 stars



I wouldn't miss this wedding for the world. It will be my last chance to put a stop to it . . .





Alex and Maddie can't wait to welcome a close group of family and friends to this beautiful, secluded country estate in the mountains of Mallorca for their wedding. The Finca Incantata is a magical place - a castle with a cobbled courtyard, a deep, cold, fresh-water pool and a high tower that looks out over the breathtaking surrounding wilderness.





The guests arrive, bringing with them their pretty dresses, smart suits and maybe even some private doubts about the upcoming marriage. Among them is one guest who is determined to ensure the wedding does not take place . . .





Who hates Maddie and Alex hate so fiercely? And just how far will they go to prevent the happy couple tying the knot?

Rachel North was born in Scarborough and studied English Literature at Oxford University. She has worked as a cleaner, a receptionist, a kitchen designer, a market researcher, a company director, a celebrity shopper and a victim support volunteer. She has an MA in Creative Writing. Under the name Caroline Bond, she is the author of six novels, including two Radio 2 Book Club picks, The Second Child, and, her most recently published book, The Day We Left. She lives in Leeds with her husband and one of her three children... the other two having grown up and escaped.



Totally engrossing. I loved the setting and the range of characters; all so blissfully untrustworthy. Creepy and compulsive but also enormous fun.



An exotic location, a glitzy wedding, and someone with an axe to grind. Will the bride-to-be live to see her wedding day? Absolutely loved this stonking page-turner.



I absolutely loved this razor-sharp thriller, full of deliciously-flawed characters, a brilliantly-realised setting, and pitch-perfect tension. HAPPILY NEVER AFTER is sharp, satisfying and clever, and Rachel North has a brand new fan in me!



A fantastic read.A glamorous wedding filled with mystery and malevolence; what's not to love!



A flamboyant wedding, a shadowy enemy, and the ageless cat who sees it all. Sumptuous, engaging, sinister - a fizzing, wonderfully entertaining read
