From the author of the New York Times bestseller Wilder Girls comes a new twisty thriller about a girl whose past has always been a mystery–until she decides to return to her mother’s hometown . . . where history has a tendency to repeat itself.
Ever since Margot was born, it’s been just her and her mother. No answers to Margot’s questions about what came before. No history to hold on to. No relative to speak of. Just the two of them, stuck in their run-down apartment, struggling to get along.
But that’s not enough for Margot. She wants family. She wants a past. And she just found the key she needs to get it: A photograph, pointing her to a town called Phalene. Pointing her home. Only, when Margot gets there, it’s not what she bargained for.
Margot’s mother left for a reason. But was it to hide her past? Or was it to protect Margot from what’s still there?
The only thing Margot knows for sure is there’s poison in their family tree, and their roots are dug so deeply into Phalene that now that she’s there, she might never escape.
Not only is the cover GORGEOUS–but this one sounds SO good! Can’t wait!
It has been a long time since I have read a horror novel! This one has a really intriguing concept. I hope that you love it when you get the chance to read it. 🙂

I haven’t read horror in a long time either!! But, this one just seems like a great way to dive back in! Thanks for commenting!
Sounds too scary for me, but those digging up the past books are always interesting.

The cover is great, and it sounds great! But then I read it was by the author of Wilder Girls which really disappointed me, so I probably won’t read this one. Hope you get it and enjoy it though!

I know a few people who didn’t love Wilder Girls so I completely get it! 🙂 Thanks for commenting!
Now I really want to know why Margots mother left Phalene! Great pick.

I think this one sounds great and am really excited to have an arc. Guess I better make time for it huh?
No way! Oh, I’m jealous! 🙂 Thanks for commenting!
I was just drooling over this one on another blog. It sounds and looks so good! I hope you love it when you read it. It’s now on my wish list. Stay safe and well.
Thank you, you too!!
Every time I see this book, it reminds me that I still haven’t read Wilder Girls. I hope you love it!
