About this listen
Sixteen-year-old Mina is frustrated by Daddy’s drinking, her mom’s fanatical religious beliefs, and growing up poor in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Most of her teachers assume she won’t amount to much despite her 4.0 GPA, and the country club guys think she’s easy prey. But they don’t know Mina’s dark secret: She can control a magical force of supernatural creatures known as the Shadow Faces. Mina doesn’t want powers. All she wants to do is escape the trailer park for a leafy college campus far away. But when her crush, Gabe, is stalked by a shapeshifting preacher/wolf, Mina learns to use her powers to protect him. Mina soon discovers the same preacher is trafficking teens for a mystical brothel and has kidnapped her best friend, Erin, after a failed attempt at conversion therapy. Can Mina use the Shadow Faces to save Erin and the other kids without losing her chance at a normal life?
©2025 Quill & Crow Publishing House (P)2025 Quill & Crow Publishing HouseI enjoyed Where Dark Things Grow a lot, and enjoyed this return to the same place - but at a later point in time - a lot. Both books are good in their own right, but I feel like this sequel was even better than the first. The 80’s nostalgia. The familiar faces. The angsty feelings. The lurking darkness. Ah, to be a teenager again… Absolutely recommend!
Angsty Appalachian 80’s horror, what’s not to love?
