Between Friends

Author: Natalie Banks
Publisher: Champion Books
Anticipated Publication Date: August 28, 2025

Madison travels to North Carolina to clear out her mother’s estate, taking a break from her life in LA, where she has a glamorous and successful life as a celebrity photographer. They say you can’t go home again, and there’s a reason for that. For Madison, it brings back memories she’d kept hidden, and she falls into almost the same patterns. Under the thumb of the mean girl. Loving the man she loved as a boy. Worried that she can’t remember what happened to Olivia in the woods on graduation night.

But some secrets can’t stay buried. Everyone is a suspect. And nothing is as it seems.

If you love small-town, fast-paced mysteries (and cats – yay Leech!), and big twists, you’ll want to get a copy of Between Friends. This was my first read by this Indie author and I loved every minute of it!

Thanks to Natalie Banks and IRIS Influencer Society for an advance reader’s copy.
