'It’s not the blood that gives away the fact that he’s dead; it’s the eyes. You never notice someone blinking, but it’s so obvious when they stop.'

When university student Louise moves in with her friend Cat, she can’t believe her luck. In her eyes, Cat is perfect: she's rich, gorgeous, enigmatic and sexy. Cat’s also the only person who has ever managed to persuade Henry - who doesn't do commitment - into a monogamous relationship.

Life in their orbit is never dull. But when one thing leads to another and a night in for the three of them ends up in bed, Louise is confronted with the true nature of Cat and Henry’s relationship, and has nowhere to hide when Cat asks for her help getting out of it.

Louise would do anything for Cat, even if what Cat asks terrifies her.

Because for Louise, the only thing worse than doing what Cat has asked, would be to lose her completely . . .
