Happily Never After

'A razor-sharp thriller' Philippa East

'A stonking page-turner' Emma Curtis



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



A small group of family and friends head to a beautiful, secluded location in the mountains of Mallorca for the wedding of Alex and Maddie. 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 surrounding wilderness.



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



Who is the malicious presence? Why do they hate so fiercely and so specifically? And just how far will they go to prevent Alex and Maddie tying the knot?

'Engrossing ... compulsive ... enormous fun' Sabine Durrant

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.



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



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!
