The Amazon Charts bestselling author of Unspeakable Things and Bloodline explores the darkness at the heart of the rural Midwest in a novel inspired by a chilling true crime.
In the summer of ’84, fourteen-year-old Frankie Jubilee is shuttled off to Litani, Minnesota, to live with her estranged mother, a county prosecutor she barely knows. From the start, Frankie senses something uneasy going on in the small town. The locals whisper about The Game, and her mother warns her to stay out of the woods and away from adults.
When a bullying gang of girls invites Frankie to The Game, she accepts, determined to find out what’s really going on in Litani. She’s not the only one becoming paranoid. Hysteria burns through the community. Dark secrets emerge. And Frankie fears that, even in the bright light of day, she might be living among monsters.

Eleştirmen yorumları
“Lourey serves up another terrifying reality-based thriller…a tale of horror, grit, and, ultimately, hope.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Curious, perceptive Francesca, with her concern for others, makes an irresistible heroine. Psychological thriller fans will be satisfied.” —Publishers Weekly
“Litani shows that the real terror is not ghosts, but human monsters.” —St. Paul Pioneer Press
I have discovered that in the book there are pictures of her drawings of plant personalities for people which Frankie talks about, so I feel this one might be best read.
It may have triggers for some people.
Loved it. In my books of the year.

Although the protagonist is young, this doesn’t read like YA to me. Maybe the very upper end of YA at a push. While it avoids graphic descriptions, it directly addresses the topic of child abuse throughout the book.
This isn’t the darkest book you’ll ever read and it isn’t a thriller, but it’s a fairly dark story. Sort of a coming-of-age in a sinister setting. Despite the heavy topics, it’s presented through the eyes of a young teen, which adds an interesting touch of naïveté to the lens through which we see events unfolding. Interesting read.
The narrator did a good job considering how many voices she had to cover, and I think she captured the protagonist’s voice very well.
Enjoyed this one
