Megan and Tyler Stokes move to the small town of Willow Ridge to
follow her husband's job. All Megan wants to do is to move back to
Chicago because, for some reason, she doesn't feel safe in Willow
Ridge.
One of Megan's first problems with Willow Ridge is her neighbor from
across the street, Rachel, seems to be getting a little too close to her
husband. Tyler keeps telling her that there is nothing going on, but
Megan feels that she must confront Rachel. Second, Megan can't even
go to the neighboring town without getting dirty looks when people
know where is coming from. What is the problem with Willow Ridge?
On the day Megan decides to confront Rachel, things take a dark turn
when Rachel falls and hits her head. Megan makes a mistake by leaving
without checking on Rachel. Eventually, she notices Rachel's husband
loading a bag into the trunk of his car... Is Rachel dead? Megan believes
so, until she sees Rachel a few days later, as good as new.
Megan tries telling Tyler that something strange is going on in Willow
Ridge, but he feels she is just overreacting to convince him to move
back to Chicago. What is really going on behind closed doors? Will
Megan become the next victim?
I was pretty impressed with John Rector's writing. I can't even imagine
what it would be like to move to a small town and find out that it is not
what you thought. What a great imagination Ridge has; he puts you
right in the center of this town. I felt the pain and confusion that Megan
was going through. I also liked that I couldn't figure out what was going
on. Ridge's descriptions of the town and the people are kind of on the
weird side. Would people really do such drastic things just for the sake
of their town? Read
With its manicured lawns, pastel houses, and quiet,
tree-lined streets, Willow Ridge seems to be the perfect
place for Megan and Tyler Stokes to start a new chapter in
their lives together. But soon after settling in, Megan
begins to notice cracks in the neighborhood’s bright
suburban facade—cracks that reveal a darker secret hidden
just beneath the surface.
After an angry encounter with a neighbor takes a horrifying
turn, Megan’s waking nightmare truly begins—growing ever
more chilling and bizarre with each shocking twist. Suddenly
forced to question everything around her, Megan finds
herself trapped between the specter of madness and the
shadow of something far worse. Her only hope is to expose
the community’s pretty lies and discover the truth about
what is really going on in Willow Ridge—a truth so
devastating that her life will never be the same.
