Thrillers (Children's / Teenage) : Horror & ghost stories, chillers (Children's/Teen) |
| Welcome to the strange mountain foothills town of Hawthorn, where sixteen-year-old Harper Spurling finds herself increasingly obsessed with the diary of a local 1860s pioneer girl while a serial killer runs unchecked through the area, dumping his victims into the townâ s dark river. As Harperâ s curiosity leads her closer and closer to the killer, sheâ ll have to think fast or join the killerâ s growing list of victims. Because in Hawthorn, a town built on sorrow, the barrier between life and death is as fragile as an old, forgotten skull. |
