The summer of 1995 kicks off with a party in the mine where six high school students witness a horrifying crime that changes the course of their lives. The six couldnt be more different. Maddy, a devout member of the local megachurch Kelly, the bookworm next door James, a cynical burnout Casey, a loveable football player Padma, the shy straight-A student Jia, whos starting to see visions she cant explain When they realize that they cant trust anyone but each other, they begin to investigate what happened on their own. As tensions escalate in town to a breaking point, the six make a vow of silence, bury all their evidence, and promise to never contact each other again. Their plan works almost. Twenty years later, Jia calls them all back to Wesley FallsMaddy has been murdered, and they are the only ones who can uncover why. But to end things, they have to return to the mine one last time.

A group of teenagers in Wesley Falls wage war against a powerful church and its pastor who is clearly not quite human. Twenty years later, they return home after the death of one of their group. Yes, it screams IT, but I very much liked these characters and while it‘s not as good as King‘s book, it was well written ( for the most part) and a page turner.

LeahBergen I liked her first book. 👍 2w

TheLudicReader @LeahBergen I haven‘t read her first book, but based on this one (which wasn‘t perfect) I probably would. 2w
