"Don't Breathe a Word is a haunting page-turner that kept me up,
spine shivering and enthralled, way past my bedtime."
--Joshilyn Jackson, author of Never Have I Ever
On a soft summer night in Vermont, twelve-year-old Lisa went into the
woods behind her house and never came out again. Before she disappeared,
she told her little brother, Sam, about a door that led to a magical
place where she would meet the King of the Fairies and become his queen.
Fifteen years later, Phoebe is in love with Sam, a practical, sensible
man who doesn't fear the dark and doesn't have bad dreams--who, in fact,
helps Phoebe ignore her own. But suddenly the couple is faced with a
series of eerie, unexplained occurrences that challenge Sam's
hardheaded, realistic view of the world. As they question their reality,
a terrible promise Sam made years ago is revealed--a promise that could
destroy them all.
"Jennifer McMahon never flinches and never fails to surprise...as
[she] weaves a young couple into a perverse fairyland where Rosemary's
Baby could be at home."
--Randy Susan Meyers, author of The Murderer's Daughters
