DESCRIPTION:
A decades-old secret that drove a mother from her hometown now threatens her college-bound daughter in this twisty new thriller.
Beckett Bowery never thought she’d return to Wyatt Valley, a picturesque college town in the Virginia mountains steeped in tradition. Her roots there were strong: Beckett’s parents taught at the college, and she never even imagined studying anywhere else—until a tragedy her senior year ended with two local men dead, and her roommate on the run, never to be seen again…
For the last two decades, Beckett has done her best to keep her distance. Then her daughter, Delilah, secretly applies to Wyatt College and earns a full scholarship, and Beckett can only hope that her lingering fears are unfounded. But deep down she knows that Wyatt Valley has a long memory, and that the past isn’t the only dangerous thing in town…

MY THOUGHTS:
Ghostwriter Beckett Bowery thought she’d left Wyatt Valley for good but her daughter Delilah had other plans when she applies for and is accepted to college there. Having won a full scholarship to Wyatt College is good for her daughter, but there are far too many ghosts that Beckett will soon be contending with.
This engaging read takes place in multiple perspectives, that of before and now and that of Beckett and Delilah’s perspectives. Beckett is soon overcome with fear and fear when she cannot reach Delilah, thus necessitating a visit to her hometown. With incredible tension, shocking twists and turns that just might give the reader pause, this latest book by Megan Miranda was an excellent read.
Many thanks to Simon & Schuster and to NetGalley for this ARC to review. This is my honest opinion.
