About the book

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this captivating atmospheric novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Unmaking of June Farrow, a woman investigates her twin brother’s mysterious death while confronting the ghosts of her own haunted past.

James and Johnny Golden were once inseparable. For as long as she can remember, James shared an almost supernatural connection with her twin brother, Johnny, that went beyond intuition—she could feel what he was feeling. So, when Johnny is killed in a tragic accident, James knows before her phone even rings that her brother is gone and that she’s alone—truly alone—for the first time in her life.

When James arrives in the secluded town of Six Rivers, California, to settle her brother’s affairs, she’s forced to revisit the ominous events of their shared past and finally face Micah, the only other person who knows their secrets—and the only man she has ever loved.

But as James delves deeper into Johnny’s world, she realizes that their unique connection hasn’t completely vanished. The more she immerses herself in his life, the more questions she has about the brother she thought she knew. Johnny was hiding something, and he’s not the only one. The deeper she digs, the more she is compelled to unravel the truth behind the days leading up to Johnny’s death. Ultimately, James must decide which truths should come to light, and which are better left buried forever.

    all die unausgesprochenen probleme führen hier zu einer unglaublich guten tension

    die stakes sind hoch, wir erleben mystery elements mit magischen aspekten und unsere kleinstadt dynamik überzeugt komplett! unsere hauptfigur bemerkt nach ihrer rückkehr, dass sie es eigentlich nie geschafft hat, dem netz des dorfes zu entkommen und ihr geist noch immer dort gefangen ist. wir bekommen einen unglaublich süßen animalcompanion zu sehen und schon bald ist klar, dass er der einzige ist, dem vertraut werden kann. ein paar punkte, die die handlung in gang gebracht haben, waren für mich dann jedoch etwas random hineingeworfen und künstlich eingestreut- meine verwirrung daraus hat sich auch bis zum ende nicht gelegt. das is aber meckern auf hohem niveau, ein wirklich unterschätztes buch!!

    Rather disappointing...

    I'm usually a huge fan of Adrienne Young, I really enjoyed her other novels but this one was unfortunately rather disappointing. The first half of the book was extremely slow, everyone seemed to hide something, but nothing was really happening and you didn't find out much about the characters and what was actually going on. I almost dnfed the book when it finally got more interesting and the mysteries started to unreavel. The plot twists were really well executed and it all made perfect sense at the end. All in all the writing was pretty good though and I loved the whole atmosphere, but the first half was just too slow and boring.

    Rather disappointing...

    Ich mag Adrienne Youngs atmosphärischen Schreibstil wirklich sehr, aber das Buch war für mich einfach nur sehr langweilig und hat z.B. das Gefühl der Trauer zu wenig aufgezeigt. Hier fehlte mir der Tiefgang, den ich mir eigentlich bei dem Klappentext erhofft habe. Auch der Fall bzw. die Fälle, die aufgedeckt wurden, wurden so langweilig aufgedeckt, dass der „Schock-Faktor“ fehlte. Zudem waren es für meinen Geschmack zu viele Charaktere, weshalb diese auch recht oberflächlich blieben. Ich habe leider keinen Zugang gefunden und bin froh, dass das Buch durch ist.
