Publisher Description
SIX CLASSMATES. ONE TERRIFYING NIGHT. A MURDER TWENTY YEARS IN THE MAKING…
There’s something sinister under the surface of the idyllic, suburban town of Wesley Falls, and it’s not just the abandoned coal mine that lies beneath it. 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 couldn’t 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, who’s starting to see visions she can’t explain
When they realize that they can’t 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 Falls—Maddy 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.

Loved it!
Complex and complicated characters will draw you in and I’ll
Wholeheartedly LOVED this book!
I loved the characters in this book so much! They are the kind of characters I’ll be think about for a long time to come. Fantastic plot! I line-up my reads, but about halfway through this one I knew I’d be changing my list to read the author’s first book next!! Can’t wait for her next one!!
Suspenseful story!
So original and spooky with lots of twists and turns. I loved the relationships between the diverse group of teens that found themselves bonded with the secrets they kept who otherwise would have been unlikely friends. Great read!
