The USA TODAY bestselling author of the Ten Tiny Breaths and Burying Water series makes her suspense debut with this sexy, heartpounding story of a young woman determined to find justice after her best friend’s death, a story pulsing with the “intense, hot, emotional” (Colleen Hoover) writing that exhilarates her legions of fans.
A woman who almost had it all . . .
On the surface, Celine Gonzalez had everything a twenty-eight-year-old woman could want: a one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, a job that (mostly) paid the bills, and an acceptance letter to the prestigious Hollingsworth Institute of Art, where she would finally live out her dream of becoming an antiques appraiser for a major auction house. All she had worked so hard to achieve was finally within her reach. So why would she kill herself?
A man who was supposed to be her salvation . . .
Maggie Sparkes arrives in New York City to pack up what’s left of her best friend’s belongings after a suicide that has left everyone stunned. The police have deemed the evidence conclusive: Celine got into bed, downed a lethal cocktail of pills and vodka, and never woke up. But when Maggie discovers a scandalous photograph in a lock box hidden in Celine’s apartment, she begins asking questions. Questions about the man Celine fell in love with. The man she never told anyone about, not even Maggie. The man Celine believed would change her life.
Until he became her ruin.
On the hunt for evidence that will force the police to reopen the case, Maggie uncovers more than she bargained for about Celine’s private life—and inadvertently puts herself on the radar of a killer. A killer who will stop at nothing to keep his crimes undiscovered.
The feelings and emotions this book creates are bananas! Straight up insane. KA Tucker just keeps getting better. Each book is a stepping stone, pushing her forward in ways I just can’t fathom. Where does she come up with this! This book will take you to place you never imagined and when you think you may have it… You don’t. This is unlike her other series. It’s refreshing so see that she can write complicated mystery, yet hard romance like a boss. Yep, this one is a must.
Maggie is left wondering why. Why would her best friends end it all? Why wouldn’t she reach out for help? Just, why? Maggie needs answer and will do anything and everything to get them. What she doesn’t expect is the “Alice like hole” she falls into. Nothing is what it seems and everything is a mystery.
Twist and turns will have you guessing till the end. To know that KA Tucker had THIS in her has me giddy. She flipped the scrip on us. Not only is the story solid, well thought out, and addicting, you will find that He Will Be My Ruin is totally movie worthy material. The whole time I kept thinking, “You know who would be awesome in the movie version”. This is a well-deserved five star read from KA Tucker.

“I need some advice, Grady, and I have no one else to ask.”
“Shoot.”
“If you needed answers and the only person to give those to you was a person you didn’t know, had never met, and who might not like the questions you have to ask, what would you do?”
He twists his lips in thought. “I’d create a situation to meet this person, and make it hard for them to refuse me.”
Simple in theory…”But how?”
He exhales heavily, his warm breath grazing my cheek telling me that he’s facing me. “Find common ground. A location, a purpose, an acquaintance. Force the meet and then work your questions around the real ones that you want to ask. You can get a lot of information out of a person just by treading too close to what they don’t want to talk about. The look in their eye, their facial expressions, the way they react to the mention of a name, or a place.”
Grady seems more intelligent than what I’d expect of a pot-smoking building super. “You sound like you’ve been in my situation before.”
“Once or twice. Maybe.” I hear the smile in his voice.
Find common ground. Force the meet. The only common ground I have with this guy is now six feet underground in a San Diego cemetery.
Unless…
There is something that we’re both very familiar with.
I pull out my phone and scroll through my emails to find the one with her phone number. I know this is beyond inappropriate, but once I get something in my head, there’s no dislodging it. Plus, I’m high.
“Hello?”
“Hey Dani. It’s Maggie Sparkes.”
“Hi…Is everything okay?” She definitely sounds shocked to hear from me.
Grady watches me quietly. “I’m sorry to be calling so late. You know how you offered help with anything I needed? Well, I need a favor.”
