About The Book
That’s the one. That’s the girl who’s going to die.
I didn’t believe in the Rule of Three. Not at first. It was just one of those urban myths you hear about all the time. A story my boyfriend told me about a girl cursed by the number three. A girl whose parents had killed themselves after her sibling had died in an accident. Which meant that she was doomed to die too because that’s the Rule of Three.
Bad things always happen in threes, they say, and they are right. Because it’s happening again.
But this time the curse is coming for me. And worst of all?
It’s coming for you, too.

Raves and Reviews
"A completely original, nuanced, one-sitting read that blew me away. Whip-smart dialogue, characters that haunt your dreams and a plot you might just die for. I loved it."
– Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of WE BEGIN AT THE END
"How rare it is to devour a new thriller with a truly new premise told in a truly new way. In THE RULE OF THREE, Sam Ripley has achieved the near impossible, blending innovative storytelling with fresh, surprising characters fighting for their lives against the very narrative we are racing to read and keep up with. This twisty, dark delight plumbs our all-too-human paranoias and proclivities, upending our expectations of what a thriller can be."
– Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series
"Ingenious, creepy and compelling. Sam Ripley is an exciting new voice in the field of chilling thrillers."
– Alex North, New York Times bestselling author of THE ANGEL MAKER
"THE RULE OF THREE absolutely blew me away. An incredibly intense and original creepy page-turner that made me keep turning the pages in a desperate need to finish it and find out the answers! Utterly paranoia-inducing and brilliant. I loved it. It came for me and now it will come for you!"
– Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author of INSOMNIA
