About this listen
SIX CLASSMATES. ONE TERRIFYING NIGHT. A MURDER TWENTY YEARS IN THE MAKING…
There’s something sinister under the surface of the idyllic suburban town of Wesley Falls, and it’s not just the abandoned coal mine that lies beneath it. The summer of 1995 kicks off with a party in the mine where six high school students witness a horrifying crime that changes the course of their lives.
The six couldn’t be more different.
- Maddy, a devout member of the local megachurch
- Kelly, the bookworm next door
- James, a cynical burnout
- Casey, a loveable football player
- Padma, the shy straight-A student
- Jia, who’s starting to see visions she can’t explain
When they realize that they can’t trust anyone but each other, they begin to investigate what happened on their own. As tensions escalate in town to a breaking point, the six make a vow of silence, bury all their evidence, and promise to never contact each other again. Their plan works—almost.
Twenty years later, Jia calls them all back to Wesley Falls—Maddy has been murdered, and they are the only ones who can uncover why. But to end things, they have to return to the mine one last time.

Very satisfying ending
It was a slow go and a little triggering having grown up during the purity culture era. The last few chapters made up for the slow start for sure

Couldn’t put it down!
This was a great read. It took a little concentration for me to get into it in the beginning simply because I always have trouble keeping track of different characters perspective when they’re split by chapter. That being said, it didn’t take away from the book- just a warning to other adhd-ers to stick it out haha!
There is a review that someone else left that made comments about how the paranormal wasn’t necessary- I’m telling you right now, that person just picked the wrong genre and didn’t realize it. The paranormal isn’t some random side story- it IS the plot of the book. And it was really well done, used as a “one possible explanation for Christianity and cult-like religion.”

Pretty Good
I really liked this one. A lil paranormal but not crazy, just as I like it. The friendships that develop are great and if teens will read and act upon the examples of the friends in this book - maybe fewer kids will be shit on in school by the cliques that inevitably develope around them.

Really liked it except for the paranormal.
The story was really good and there was a side “ish” sub plot that could easily have been written about that would have made the book so much better. The spin it currently has seems to diminish it. Character development was fairly well done. Overall the story itself was interesting.
Narration was good for the various characters portrayed.
