Ellie Stone, a journalist focusing on climate science, is staying with her 24-year-old brother, Josh, so their parents can have an anniversary getaway. Josh is an addict, a former D1 soccer star whose post-college life has unraveled, but he’s also still, somehow, the golden boy. Ellie’s resentment at being overlooked by her parents took root in childhood. When she and Josh argue during her visit, she decides she’s finally had enough. In her hurry to return to Brooklyn, Ellie realizes she forgot her laptop and turns around, arriving back to discover the home ablaze.
Though alive when rescued by firefighters, Josh is severely burned and fragile. Ellie is heartsick. But then she also begins to fret: is it her fault? Did she snuff out her cigarette? It’s the second time she’s been involved in a devastating fire, another holdover from childhood and she feels guilt-ridden and overwhelmed. Plus, social media turns ugly, reacting as fast as the flames that devoured her family home.
In the aftermath, Ellie leans on Josh’s best friend, Drew, and Josh’s girlfriend, Audrey. As time goes on, she realizes Audrey and Josh didn’t have the rosy relationship she thought they did. The police are asking questions. Suddenly, Ellie is, too.
In this page-turning story of disloyalty, sibling rivalry, and love gone wrong, suspicions abound and tension ratchets up, right until the chilling conclusion.
Blurbs for Will End In Fire
Bokat reveals the solution to the mystery bit by bit, like a jigsaw puzzle, leaving the full picture obscured until the final piece is finally in place… will confound readers’ expectations and keep them guessing. – Kirkus Reviews
Hang on to your breath because you’ll be holding it the whole time you read Nicole Bokat’s fascinating thriller about love, loyalty, family, and the secrets that could save or even kill us… extraordinary. – Caroline Leavitt, New York Times best-selling author of Pictures of You and With or Without You
I blazed through Bokat’s fiery, fast-paced new thriller in a single sitting. Navigating the perilous terrain of sibling rivalry, arson, addiction, rape culture, climate change, and a pandemic, the novel’s riveting twists are driven by the questions: Who can Ellie Stone trust? What will it take for her to trust herself? What is the price if she doesn’t?

This novel will grab you from the first sentence, I didn’t start the fire, and won’t let you go until the last. A riveting story of love, loss, and fear that raises questions about how childhood events and family dynamics shape us, influencing what we remember, who we believe, and whether we can change the patterns of our lives. -Anastasia Zadeik, author of Blurred Fates and The Other Side of Nothing
…a page-turning mystery, a suspenseful domestic drama, a deep psychological character study of warring siblings, and a heartbreaking addiction saga all rolled into one poignant, powerful novel.

Nicole Bokat has once again weaved together scintillating storytelling with gorgeous prose… a haunting poetic thriller. – Judy Batalion, New York Times best-selling author of The Light of Days
My Thoughts: Will End in Fire
Josh, the twenty-four-year-old golden boy, star athlete, and drug addict, needs to be watched by his older sister, Ellie. This screams sibling rivalry and ends in a major blowup. Ellie finds the house burning with her brother burnt severely. In shock, she recalls when she was blamed for starting another fire and being labeled the FireStarter. Will fingers point to her again? Josh’s friends rally around Ellie as the mystery unfolds. The story begins with a bang and doesn’t let up as a great display of suspense envelopes this unique plot. Family tension, trust, and drama are the major players, along with a jaw-dropping finale.
