YA chiller
The decaying town of Oakhaven, setting for Hayley Newlin's Not Another Sarah Halls, has a distinction few communities would care to claim. Every year a beautiful teenage girl goes missing. There's a three week search followed by a memorial. Then life goes on as before.
Oakhaven also has the Dae house, the abode of the town's wealthiest family. Bad things are rumored to happen there: "blood rituals, accidental deaths, and buried victims in the backyard." Parents tell their children to stay away. But not all children listen. Every Friday night there is a teen party that spills into the adjoining forest, a gloomy, overgrown space inhabited by legions of crows.
Nearly life long best friends Autumn and Becca have started to split apart in high school. After watching the parties through a window Becca has become a regular attendee. She sees nothing sinister about them. Autumn refuses to join her, even as she suspects that in doing so she may be ending their friendship.
When Becca becomes the next face on a missing poster will Autumn be able to overcome her anxieties in order to save her chum?
The clock is ticking and the woods conceal a very evil entity.
On a purrrsonal note, I actually slept well for the first time since before the operation. I'm glad I have a third weekend day to recuperate. It's nice out. I'd take a walk if there was anywhere to go. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have the energy to make it to campus and do my internship office hours. (Jules)
She'll do it. No doubt in my mind. (Tobago)
A great big shout out goes out to all our well wishers.
Tobago and Jules Hathaway
