Perfect town. Perfect homes. Perfect families. It’s enough to drive some women mad…

In a tale inspired by real events, pregnant journalist Joan Harken is cautiously excited to follow her fiancé back to his Minnesota hometown. After spending a childhood on the move and chasing the screams and swirls of news-rich city life, she’s eager to settle down. Lilydale’s motto, “Come Home Forever,” couldn’t be more inviting.

And yet, something is off in the picture-perfect village.

The friendliness borders on intrusive. Joan can’t shake the feeling that every move she makes is being tracked. An archaic organization still seems to hold the town in thrall. So does the sinister secret of a little boy who vanished decades ago. And unless Joan is imagining things, a frighteningly familiar figure from her past is on watch in the shadows.

Her fiancé tells her she’s being paranoid. He might be right. Then again, she might have moved to the deadliest small town on earth.

Suspense, Provocative & Endearing

Kept me wondering and wanting more as events unfold, Feeling love and admiration for some characters, while detesting others. I was very surprised and taken to a place I did not anticipate. Would recommend for those who like suspense and thought provoking storytelling.

Narration was wonderful.

First, but not last!

This was my first book by Jess Lourey, but it won't be my last. It was a great mystery, and the narrator did a great job producing it.

Twisted

It's a good story with lots of twists. Reminiscent story of a shorter The Handmaid's Tale.

Good read.

The writing was good and I enjoyed the story but did I miss this? What happened to slow Henry? Someone please tell me so I don’t have to go back and re-listen!

The story from beginning to end is great!!!

I was not expecting twist, but who is right? To find out who Paulie Ondeck was is crazy!! Great read!

Twisty Turny

loved this book! I am a suspense fan and this book did not disappoint in any way. Will be reading more from this author!

Strange story

I managed to make it through. But story was pretty out there. Not my cup of tea but I managed to finish it.

The twist ?!

Hello ?! Jess that plot twist gave me whiplash! This book was wild and was loving every single second. This is why Jess is one of my auto read authors!

drawn out,

I was mostly bored. this woman realized something was wrong give seconds into the story but hemmed and hawed for six hours. not bad, but not very exciting.

Confusing

I loved parts of this, but I had a really hard time keeping track of all the characters. It got really annoying after a while.
