In My Dreams I Hold a Knife
"[A] mordant debut novel....examines what it means to covet the lives of others, no matter the cost."—The New York Times
"Tense, twisty, and packed with shocks."—Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Survive The Night
Six friends.
One college reunion.
One unsolved murder.
Ten years after graduation, Jessica Miller has planned her triumphant return to her southern, elite Duquette University, down to the envious whispers that are sure to follow in her wake. Everyone is going to see the girl she wants them to see—confident, beautiful, indifferent. Not the girl she was when she left campus, back when Heather Shelby's murder fractured everything, including the tight bond linking the six friends she'd been closest to since freshman year.
But not everyone is ready to move on. Not everyone left Duquette ten years ago, and not everyone can let Heather's murder go unsolved. Someone is determined to trap the real killer, to make the guilty pay. When the six friends are reunited, they will be forced to confront what happened that night—and the years' worth of secrets each of them would do anything to keep hidden.
Told in racing dual timelines, with a dark campus setting and a darker look at friendship, love, obsession, and ambition, In My Dreams I Hold A Knife is an addictive, propulsive read you won't be able to put down.
"Beautiful writing, juicy secrets, complex female characters, and drumbeat suspense—what more could you want from a debut thriller?"—Andrea Bartz, author of Reese's Book Club pick We Were Never Here

Not only is Ashley’s writing beautiful, but her story is spectacular as well. This was the first book I’ve ever read written by her and it remains my favorite due to the characters and the general plot. Jessica was a train wreck, but one you couldn’t look away from. She’s very raw, and while I can’t say she’s the best person in the world, I believe she’s very human. The romance was a wonderful added touch as well. I adore Coop’s character and find him to be very real and human as well. This was just an absolutely wonderful read.

3.5 stars…not my fav but fun to read. Kind of annoyed me how badly she needed to make her dad proud but the ending was a twist I didn’t expect.
