It's
too
late
for
you.
You're
dead.
Those words float through Claire Cain's head as she lies broken and barely alive after a brutal beating. And they continue to haunt her months later, in the terrifying nightmares that plague her. So when her father takes a job in another state, Claire is hopeful that getting out of Chicago will offer her a new start.
But when she arrives in Peculiar, Missouri, Claire quickly realizes something is wrong—the town is brimming with hidden dangers and overrun by feral cats. And her fears are confirmed when a popular high school girl, Serena Sims, is found dead in the icy woods behind the school. While everyone is quick to say it was an accident, Claire knows there's more to it—for she was the one who found Serena, battered and bruised, surrounded by the town's feral cats.
Now Claire vows to learn the truth about what happened, but the closer she gets to uncovering the mystery, the closer she also gets to discovering a frightening reality about herself—and the damage she truly sustained in that Chicago alley. . . .
With an eerie setting and heart-stopping twists and turns, Holly Schindler weaves a gripping story that will make you question everything you think you know.

Recenzii
“A
heavily
gloomy
feel
pervades
this
novel
that
shifts
through
phases
of
fantasy,
mystery,
psychological
thriller,
and
thoughtful
realistic
fiction
dealing
with
PTSD.”
“With back-to-back scenes of exquisitely imagined...real horror, Schindler’s third YA novel hearkens to the uncompromising demands of her debut, A Blue So Dark…This time, the focus is on women’s voices and the consequences they suffer for speaking…A story about reclaiming and healing.”
“From the opening pages readers will be immediately immersed in this dark story…[which] has echoes of classic Hitchcock. Issues of cliques, peer pressure, bullying, self-esteem, post-traumatic stress syndrome, teacher-student relationships, and pet abandonment will provide substance for discussion.”
“In the town of Peculiar, the cats aren’t the only ones keeping secrets… A dark and creepy psychological who-done-it that will keep you guessing until the very end.”
“Wow! This book starts off with a bang - two of them, actually - and then it sinks its claws into you and never lets go.”
“Readers wanting a psychological thriller should try Schindler’s novel.”
“The book’s central plot is compellingly created. Effectively eerie... will leave some lingering chills.”
