However, she soon discovers that the horrific event that drove Grammie away is but one small piece of the town's blighted history. Confronted with increasing hostility from Evanston's insular religious community as she closes in on the truth, Alice must risk everything to save lives. Her soft-spoken new neighbor, Riley Moore, seems to have answers ... and some dark secrets of his own. Can Alice trust him to help her put an end to Evanston's wicked practices, or will she become yet another casualty? Little Eve meets "The Lottery" meets "Children of the Corn." Perfect for readers who love: Slow burn horror - Family secrets - Creepy small towns - Religious cults "... Hathaway has a unique voice that runs from the mundane to suddenly morbid, from scary and uncomfortable, but her writing always conveys a warmth within the lead characters that make them human and likeable. That humanity, contrasted with the growing horror of the situation, makes this a great read..." —Jonathan Chapman, Staff Reviewer for The Horror Zine.
