You think you know the truth about the people you love. But one discovery can change everything… Eight-year-old Billy goes missing one day, out flying his kite with his sister Rose. Two days later, he is found dead. Sixteen years on, Rose still blames herself for Billy’s death. How could she have failed to protect her little brother? Rose has never fully recovered from the trauma, and one of the few people she trusts is her neighbour Ronnie, who she has known all her life. But one day Ronnie falls ill, and Rose goes next door to help him… and what she finds in his attic room turns her world upside down. Rose thought she knew the truth about what happened to Billy. She thought she knew her neighbour. Now the only thing she knows is that she is in danger…

You will not make a Mistake if you pick up The Mistake by KL Slater. I have read a few books by this author and I am never disappointed and this book is no different. Thank you Netgalley the publisher and author for my advanced copy below is my honest review.
The Mistake is masterfully written it centered around Rose, an older sister who is distraught over the disappearance and later death of her brother Billy, and the woman who is still dealing with it sixteen years later. I loved that this was written between two time periods Rose Present day and Sixteen Years ago.
The story was fast paced which made it easy to read, I strangely connected with Rose I felt horrible that she got stuck falling in love with such a complete jerk for a first love. Gareth
Is everything Momma warns you about and more. He is convicted for the murder of Billy and while Rose relives her turmoil we the readers feel bad for her because he shows glimpses of romance while exercising his control. Rose’s life unravels as a teen and again as an adult but I promise you this is so worth reading until the very last page.
