From Kody Keplinger, New York Times bestselling author of The Duff, comes an addictive YA thriller that's The Girls by Emma Cline meets The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe.
'Keplinger 's storytelling is strongest when describing the girls' reactions to a cult leader-like father figure, from basking in the glow of validation to experiencing self-doubt and isolation... A story of survival and maintaining empathy despite dire circumstances.' - Kirkus
There are many reasons why five girls have ended up living with Sol in a cabin in the Kentucky mountains. But the girls don't talk about what has brought each of them here or who they were before. They have become sisters and are grateful to have a place to call home.
Iris knows she owes everything to Sol. He has promised to keep them safe from their pasts. All he asks in return is for their loyalty, which Iris freely gives. With her sisters and Sol as her family, she feels happier than she has in a long time.
Until a new girl arrives and everything changes.
Sol christens her Rose and the sisters are quick to welcome her. Iris is drawn to Rose, but as they grow closer, Rose has Iris questioning things about this life in the woods. When Sol notices, he challenges Iris to prove her commitment to their family. Her sisters tell her that she should be willing to do anything for the man who saved her. But with each new ask, Iris realizes there is more to Sol –and her sisters – than she knows and some secrets should stay buried deep.
- A thriller with true heart - a gripping, stunningly told, edge-of-your-seat story of shifting power and found family.
- Perfect for fans of The Girls and The Girls I've Been
