The Ghostwriter: where there is one last story to tell

The Ghostwriter by A.R. Torre is a story of a world famous, bestselling romance author with a deep and haunting secret. Four years ago, Helena Parks lied. She lied in front of the police, her friends and family, and told a story. Her best one yet because they all believed her. With fifteen bestsellers and millions of fans, she shouldn’t be surprised. After a terminal diagnosis, Helena has one last story to tell. The one she has been keeping secret all these years. It will have a jaw-dropping twist that no one will see coming. But she needs help. She enlists a ghostwriter. Another bestselling author, Marka Vantly. The two authors have been fierce competitors and rivals for many years. Helena feels that Marka is the only writer with the ability to capture the darkness. She may already be dying physically, but this story will be the one to kill her soul. 

From the back cover synopsis, A.R. Torre warns readers that this book “is not a romance” as A.R. Torre also writes romances under the name Alessandra Torre. It is described as suspenseful with dark secrets and wow, does it deliver! From the very beginning, Helena tells readers that they don’t know the whole story, no one really does. She is determined to reveal the truth after her death and she does it in the firm of one last book. She enlists her rival, Marka, and the two begin the process of writing her last story. The most painful and darkest story yet. Helena is a woman filled with grief, pain and guilt. She has created a harsh and eccentric façade in order to protect her secret. I enjoyed the development of her relationship with Marka. This story kept me guessing and I was on the edge of my seat until the end! I highly recommend The Ghostwriter! 

The Ghostwriter is available in paperback, eBook, and audiobook.
