The Perfect Hosts is another chilling, shocking story by author Heather Gudenkauf. It centers around a gender reveal party where something goes terribly wrong. Someone dies. The story so mesmerizing you won’t be able to put it down. Sometimes the rich just don’t know when to stop as they try to outdo each other. Unfortunately, this time it’s so over the top that unbeknownst to all the guests, many deep secrets and lies will be exposed and we will all learn the deep dark hidden truths.
Madeline and Wes Drake are having a baby and decided to have a gender reveal party at their sprawling horse ranch. Wealthy beyond belief, they spared no expense to make it the party of the year…and oh, it was. Just as the reveal was set to begin, there was a massive explosion which leaves many injured and one dead. But unfortunately, it seems it was not an accident.

Enter ATF Agent Jamie Saldano who must now return reluctantly to a town, Nightjar, Wyoming where he lived as a child, was almost beaten to death by someone they never found and whose sister disappeared. Although he has changed his name, he knows Wes Drake. He was the one who found him when he was almost killed.
Shaken, Madeline is taken to the hospital to make sure she and the baby are fine. There she meets a young woman who helped cater the party. She too is pregnant. Because the girl has nowhere else to go, she invites her to stay at the ranch. And another surprise awaits Madeline when she gets home…her stepsister Lucy has shown up at the ranch as well. The last time they saw each other was at their father’s funeral where Madeline was given control of his estate which included his and Lucy’s horses.
As Agent Saldano investigates, it seems that the Drake family’s hands are not clean. But which of them, if any, would benefit by killing someone? Saldano also takes this opportunity to revisit the mystery of what happened to his sister all those years ago.
But, secrets have a way of being exposed in many different ways. The Perfect Hosts are absolutely not perfect and the shocking twists, lies and jaw dropping ending proves that!
