Review: NetGalley

A supernatural thriller in the vein of A Head Full of Ghosts about two young girls, a scary story that becomes far too real, and the tragic--and terrifying--consequences that follow one of them into adulthood.

Red Lady, Red Lady, show us your face...

In 1991, Heather Cole and her friends were members of the Dead Girls Club. Obsessed with the macabre, the girls exchanged stories about serial killers and imaginary monsters, like the Red Lady, the spirit of a vengeful witch killed centuries before. Heather knew the stories were just that, until her best friend Becca began insisting the Red Lady was real--and she could prove it.

That belief got Becca killed.

It's been nearly thirty years, but Heather has never told anyone what really happened that night--that Becca was right and the Red Lady was real. She's done her best to put that fateful summer, Becca, and the Red Lady, behind her. Until a familiar necklace arrives in the mail, a necklace Heather hasn't seen since the night Becca died.

The night Heather killed her.

Now, someone else knows what she did...and they're determined to make Heather pay.



I received this book via NetGalley to give an honest review. 
Once I started it was hard for me to put it down. I wanted to know who was behind sending the items to Heather and essentially driving her to seem crazy. We go back and forth between what Heather is going through now to what happened back in 1991. Heather and her three friends were the Dead Girls Club. When the past comes back to haunt Heather she knows she will have to come to terms with her past. Just shoving it away in the back of your mind is not going to cut it. Heather will relive her past and we find out what truly went on with the Dead Girls club and what happened that night Becca died. As the story progresses we see Heather slowly unravel and make decisions that she probably wouldn't have made if she was sane. The past wants payment and its time Heather pays, yet can she deal with the consequences of her actions? I have to say towards the end I was surprised at who had a hand on the night Becca died. Wasn't really suspecting that.
