3 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
From Bram Stoker Awardwinning author Gwendolyn Kiste comes a chilling novel about three childhood friends who miraculously survive the night everyone in their suburban hometown turned into ghostsperfect for fans of Yellowjackets. The Velkwood Vicinity was the topic of occult theorists, tabloid one-hour documentaries, and even some pseudo-scientific investigations as the block of homes disappeared behind a near-impenetrable veil that only three survivors could enterand only one has in the past twenty years, until now. Talitha Velkwood has avoided anything to do with the tragedy that took her mother and eight-year-old sister, drifting from one job to another, never settling anywhere or with anyone, feeling as trapped by her past as if she was still there in the small town she so desperately wanted to escape from. When a new researcher tracks her down and offers to pay her to come back to enter the vicinity, Talitha claims shes just doing it for the money. Of all the crackpot theories over the years, no one has discovered what happened the night Talitha, her estranged, former best friend Brett, and Grace, escaped their homes twenty years ago. Will she finally get the answers shes been looking for all these years, or is this just another dead end? Award-winning author Gwendolyn Kiste has created a suburban ghost story about a small town that trapped three young women who must confront the past if theyre going to have a future.

Book 35📚 4⭐️

Such a unique take on a haunting, definitely not like any I have read before.

Something happened the night Brett, Grace and Talitha left town… and it wasn‘t just that the entire street started to vanish. Stuck between dead and alive, no one has entered Velkwood Street in 20 years, until now.

20 years ago 3 girls escaped from a neighborhood that disappeared into a ghost realm. It is still visible to outsiders but no one can enter except these girls. Now Talitha has been offered money to return.
This book is loaded with secrets and mystery. As childhood memories are dredged up, we learn the truth about what happened 20 years ago. I was very interested to learn what happened in Velkwood. A unique and creepy story.
