Ve městě Fayette v Pensylvánii se tajemství minulosti ukrývají za každým rohem. Tessa se odstěhovala , když jí bylo devět. Snaží se nepřemýšlet o tom, co se tam tehdy stalo. Callie zůstala, jen se s rodiči přestěhovala do jiného domu. Vždycky bývala ta silnější, nebála se pohlédnout do tváře svým démonům a doufala, že když bude flámovat dost intenzivně, démoni prostě zmizí. Tessa a Callie se spolu nikdy nebavily o tom, co tenkrát v noci viděly. Po skončení soudního procesu se už nikdy neviděly. Nevolaly si ani nepsaly. Tessa sice odešla daleko, ale s sebou si odnesla nezodpovězené otázky. Některé věci se nikdy nevysvětlily. Teď se vrací do Fayette – za Wyattem Stokesem čekajícím na trest smrti, za Lori Cawleyovou, Calliinou sestřenicí, která byla zavražděna, a za jedním člověkem, který možná ví, co se tenkrát doopravdy stalo. Po krůčcích se blíží k pravdě, ale i k vrahovi. A tentokrát nebude tak snadné uniknout.

From the author of The Darkest Corners and Little Monsters comes an all-new edge-of-your-seat thriller set in upstate New York about an eerie sequence of seemingly unrelated events that leaves five cheerleaders dead. There are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook. First there was the car accident--two girls dead after hitting a tree on a rainy night. Not long after, the murders happened. Those two girls were killed by the man next door. The police shot him, so no one will ever know his reasons. Monica's sister was the last cheerleader to die. After her suicide, Sunnybrook High disbanded the cheer squad. No one wanted to be reminded of the girls they'd lost. That was five years ago. Now the faculty and students at Sunnybrook High want to remember the lost cheerleaders. But for Monica, it's not that easy. She just wants to forget. Only, Monica's world is starting to unravel. There are the letters in her stepdad's desk, an unearthed, years-old cell phone, a strange new friend at school. . . . Whatever happened five years ago isn't over. Some people in town know more than they're saying. And somehow, Monica is at the center of it all. There are no more cheerleaders in Sunnybrook, but that doesn't mean anyone else is safe.

For fans of Pretty Little Liars, Little Monsters is a new psychological thriller, from the author of The Darkest Corners, about about how when you're the new girl in town, you can't trust anyone, especially other teenage girls. Kacey is the new girl in Broken Falls. When she moved in with her father, she stepped into a brand-new life. A life with a stepbrother, a stepmother, and strangest of all, an adoring younger half sister. Kacey's new life is eerily charming compared with the wild highs and lows of the old one she lived with her volatile mother. And everyone is so nice in Broken Falls--she's even been welcomed into a tight new circle of friends. Which is why it's so odd when her closest friends, Bailey and Jade, start acting distant. And when they don't invite her to the biggest party of the year, it doesn't exactly feel like an accident. But Kacey will never be able to ask, because Bailey never makes it home from that party. Suddenly, Broken Falls doesn't seem so welcoming after all--especially once everyone starts looking to the new girl for answers. Don't miss the bonus original, short story inside!
