From the bestselling author of Burying the Honeysuckle Girls comes a riveting novel about a mother and daughter separated by grief, secrets, and a conspiracy that threatens to destroy their lives.
If there’s a healthy way to grieve, Erin Gaines hasn’t found it. After her husband’s sudden death, the runaway success of the tech company they built with their best friends has become overwhelming. Her nerves are frayed, she’s disengaged, and her frustrated daughter, Shorie, is pulling away from her. Maybe Erin’s friends and family are right. Maybe a few weeks at a spa resort in the Caribbean islands is just what she needs to hit the reset button…
Shorie is not only worried about her mother’s mental state but also for the future of her parents’ company. Especially when she begins to suspect that not all of Erin’s colleagues can be trusted. It seems someone is spinning an intricate web of deception—the foundation for a conspiracy that is putting everything, and everyone she loves, at risk. And she may be the only one who can stop it.
Now, thousands of miles away in a remote, and oftentimes menacing, tropical jungle, Erin is beginning to have similar fears. Things at the resort aren’t exactly how the brochure described, and unless she’s losing her mind, Erin’s pretty sure she wasn’t sent there to recover—she was sent to disappear.

"Thank you so much to Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I have a feeling this is going to be a very unpopular opinion about this book. I was very excited to read this book after hearing numerous great things about the author Emily Carpenter and her past books. I myself have never read anything by her nor heard of her so I was excited when I received this.
This book is about Erin who is reeling after the sudden death of her husband. Left to deal with a successful tech company and a college bound daughter on her own, Erin starts to disconnect from everyone. When her friends and family suggest spending some time at a wellness spa in the Caribbean islands Erin feels she has no choice but to go. While her daughter Shorie is trying to deal with college and uncover what's going on within the tech company Erin starts to realize that the resort isn't aiming for her to get better, they're trying to make her disappear.
Honestly I had pretty high expectations for this book after hearing everyone talk about how good it is. I unfortunately did not like it one bit. It reminded me of Liane Moriarty's "Nine Perfect Strangers" which, by the way, I hated that book also. The situations and events that occurred are so far-fetched and over the top you honestly can't believe it's really happening. And then when you get to the end of the book and figure out who's behind the crime and why they did it, you realize how truly over the top this book is.
After reading this horrible book I started looking to Emily Carpenter's other books and am I the only one that noticed they're pretty much all the same? Almost every book has to do with a husband, wife, or parent dying and then shady things happening on a foreign island. Can we not have an original thought and not repeat the same book over and over again just with different characters? Sorry to sound so crass but I honestly feel like I wasted my time reading this book."

Can we not have an original thought and not repeat the same book over and over again just with different characters? Sorry to sound so crass but I honestly feel like I wasted my time reading this book. - This story was utterly gripping and fascinating from the very beginning. I found the writing very easy to read with two alternate points of view and additional, unique journal entries from a third perspective. The plot was also very compelling, in fact, I had a really hard time putting it down. I was completely invested in the characters, the friendships, and the intrigue. Although the climatic last third was rather far-fetched and implausible, in my opinion, that only served to make it all the more entertaining. Until the Day I die was a mystery and an adventure, as well as a tale of friendship. It was original and creative, and great fun to read.
- The voices of these women felt so authentic, the high tech/app culture and creation were so realistic, the outlandish and horrifying escapades were so thrilling, and the twists so surprising...it’s simply a gem. I’ve always been a fan, but with each book my admiration only grows)
- I have to say, now that I’ve read my second psychological thriller by Emily Carpenter, she is firmly cemented in my top go-to thriller authors. Until the Day I Die had so many of the qualities that I fell in love with when I read Every Single Secret, and at the same time was so unique that it felt fresh, edgy, and most importantly, THRILLING!!! From the slow build, to the immense distrust I felt, followed by the W-T-F is happening and who do I trust??? (The answer is no one) Emily Carpenter nailed the thriller genre once again, and I cannot wait to talk more about it (spoiler free)!
Grieving widow and now-single-mum Erin Gaines is handling things as best she can. But her best isn’t good enough for many of her friends and family. Erin is slipping a bit, showing a few red flags. But she is trying to do her best for her daughter, Shorie. Despite Shorie’s wishes, Erin is encouraging her to take her scholarship to Auburn and get a degree. Jax, the company Erin and her late husband Perry founded with four of their best friends, will be there when Shorie graduates. Maybe.
The thing is, Erin thinks it may be time to sell. Jax is a top-rated app. But without Perry around as the brains of it all, Erin isn’t sure it makes sense to keep it. They could all have a nice payday finally selling it off, and then work on the next thing. Shorie is devastated, because working on Jax has been such a part of her life with her parents and their friends.
I loved Erin and Shorie both in different ways. The thing about Erin is, she was hard to root for at first. She is so self-destructive. What is truly going on with her? Meanwhile, 18 year-old Shorie thinks she knows what is best for herself. But of course, the PhD in me was like “Get your degree, the rest will be there when you finish!†Shorie was honestly a bit selfish. But at the same time, I loved Shorie and Erin. They were a mix of brilliant and broken, which was so compelling for me as a reader.
When Erin’s friends suggest she go to a resort that is also a rehabilitation program, Erin will do anything she can to keep her daughter on track. So she goes. And this is where the story gets…WEIRD! In a good way! This resort is unlike anything you’ve read about. Everything from the workers, to the other guests, to the enigmatic owner Antonia were GRIPPING! I had to know more!
And perhaps the resort isn’t all that it seems. Erin’s first few hours there had me dropping my jaw in shock. Truly—I can’t say more about this because you need to read it! This is one of those delicious thrillers where you’ll have no idea who to trust. In fact, midway through I posted to Instagram that I distrusted EVERYONE. And I mean EVERYONE.
I am so thriller for readers to experience this twisty-turny story. It has all the “I can’t believe what I’m reading†from Emily Carpenter’s last book, but an entirely fresh and unique story. - This was the first book I read by Emily Carpenter, and I'm glad I took a chance. While this book was way smarter than I am (all those tech details), it didn't leave me behind or require that I slog through.
UNTIL THE DAY I DIE came to my attention when one of my all-time favorite writers (Shannon Kirk, METHOD 15/33) recommended it, and I see why.
The characters are smart but flawed, and the relationship between Mother and Daughter kept my attention, even when I felt left in the dark by the tech references.
Carpenter sprinkles the novel with tech jargon and creates an interesting business/business world, but I never got bogged down b/c I lack techpertise.
This was my first Carpenter book, but it won't be my last. - This is my first Emily Carpenter. I am so thrilled I tried this novel. It was gripping, well rounded out and thoroughly chilling. Such an idea that people would do that to loved ones and family! I look forward to reading more of her work.
Thanks Ms Carpenter for making my weekend so enjoyable.
