Resumen del Editor

A riveting, action-packed sci-fi thriller about a young girl on a mission to rescue her best friend, from C.J. Redwine, the New York Times best-selling author of The Shadow Queen.

There are three rules in Black River Falls:

1. Don’t break curfew unless you want the monsters to find you.
2. Don’t ask questions, no matter what.
3. When someone goes missing, don’t go looking.

Joey Barnes obeyed those rules, until the day her mother vanished without a trace. She’s spent two years secretly hunting for clues, and she’s discovered plenty of things that don’t make sense, even for Black River Falls. Like the fact that Harrison Pelt keeps a chest full of weapons under a loose floorboard in his porch. Or that there’s a steel door hidden behind a shelf of old books in the library. She's become so good at snooping, she’s found enough strange facts to fill up her favorite purple journal. What she hasn’t found is her mother.

When her best friend, Emily, goes missing, too, and the grown-ups seem ready to accept it, Joey decides enough is enough. Relying on unlikely friendships and a streak of stubbornness, Joey is determined to find her friend, solve the mystery that plagues Black River Falls, and, if she’s lucky, find her mother, too.

That is, if the monsters don’t find her first.

Even as an adult....

I found this book to be very entertaining! I was thinking of recommending this book to my young daughter so I decided to listen to it first. I am so glad I did! It was very entertaining and thrilling! I would highly recommend this book to any parent who is looking for books for their children. It's a mystery/thriller, but not too much for a child. It's just enough to even keep an adult reading to the next page to see what's going to happen. I, personally, can't wait for a sequel!

This is an excellently written, excellently narrated tale of intrugue and adventure. First from thus author, but not my last! You can't go wrong with youth, monsters, and fun.

Should be a movie

I couldn't stop listening! The narration was absolutely fantastic. The story did not disappoint.

You can be courageous even when you're scared

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I definitely recommend you to read it. No matter your age. Do you like monsters?
Or a mystery? Female lead? Defying authority? Defying your parents?? Just read it and leave a review, or not. Happy Reading

Good book could be a great series

This was a good book. I hope a sequel is coming soon it concludes the story but leaves a large opening for an entire series to come

Great Story, Wonderful performance!

I tried this book out because I’ve run out of book recommendations and went exploring. I absolutely loved this story! The narrator was fabulous, bringing emotion to each character. I really like that she did all of the voices, since it’s told from a young girl’s perspective. This would be a perfect thriller book for 9-13 year olds, but I’m 36 and enjoyed it fully. C.J. Redwine knocked it out of the park with this one, and I hope there are sequels in the works!
