This ruins his life (supposedly, although he still is able to go to med school). I ignored it as much as I could but this is how silly the writing is: the main character (I can't even remember her name) at 13 years old falsely accused an older male friend, 19 years old at the time, of being involved in the disappearance of 3 young teens at a summer camp. I hate romance novels and this started to become a schmaltzy, sappy, ridiculous, romance novel. Things finally started to pick up and I became interested again, kind of, until the romance b.s. I could hardly tell for another few chapters. I got to chapter 13 before I got fed up by the slow beginning and jumped ten chapters ahead. well, I really tried to listen to the whole thing. And the closer she gets to the truth about Camp Nightingale and what really happened to those girls, the more she realizes that closure could come at a deadly price. As she digs deeper, Emma finds herself sorting through lies from the past while facing mysterious threats in the present. Then cryptic clues that Vivian left behind about the camp's twisted origins begin surfacing.

Emma is even assigned to the same cabin she slept in as a teenager, but soon discovers a security camera - the only one on the property - pointed directly at its door. Seeing an opportunity to find out what really happened to her friends all those years ago, Emma agrees.įamiliar faces, unchanged cabins, and the same dark lake haunt Nightingale, even though the camp is opening its doors for the first time since the disappearances. When the paintings catch the attention of Francesca Harris-White, the wealthy owner of Camp Nightingale, she implores Emma to return to the newly reopened camp as a painting instructor. Now a rising star in the New York art scene, Emma turns her past into paintings - massive canvases filled with dark leaves and gnarled branches that cover ghostly shapes in white dresses. The last she - or anyone - saw of them was Vivian closing the cabin door behind her, hushing Emma with a finger pressed to her lips. But the games ended the night Emma sleepily watched the others sneak out of the cabin into the darkness. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, and first-time camper Emma Davis, the youngest of the group. The girls played it all the time in their cabin at Camp Nightingale.

In the latest thriller from the best-selling author of Final Girls, a young woman returns to her childhood summer camp to uncover the truth about a tragedy that happened there 15 years ago.
