Set more than one hundred years after the Borden murders, this
propulsive, supernatural thriller imagines what might happen if history
were to repeat itself today. Perfect for fans of Kara Thomas and
Courtney Summers!
When Mariella Morse accuses her boyfriend, Vik Gomez, of murdering her
wealthy parents with an axe, the town is quick to believe her. It
doesn't help that Vik is caught standing over her parents' bodies with
blood on his hands, unable to remember anything about the night in
question.
But Vik's sister, Tessa, knows that Vik would never be capable of such a
gruesome crime. Haunted by the mistakes she made that led her family to
move to Fall River, MA in the first place, she sets out to prove her
brother's innocence.
Tessa's search for answers will lead her into a sprawling, notoriously
cursed forest, where she and Mariella must face a darkness that has
lurked within their town since before the days of Lizzie Borden--the
original axe murderess of Fall River.
