The Bad Ones: A Novel
When Nora’s estranged friend Becca goes missing, she knows it’s her job to bring Becca and the three others who vanished that night home. But the truth might be more complicated than Nora realizes. Every cryptic clue that Becca left behind points to a sinister game embedded in the town’s folklore, a game that could have proven deadly. As Nora unravels her town’s dark past and the mysteries surrounding the disappearances, she must look beyond all the lies and secrets in order to bring her friend to the light.
This book will intrigue any horror fans! It is a supernatural blend of sinister storytelling and eerie legends that will captivate any reader who picks it up. I felt that the middle lagged a bit in terms of pace, but the satisfying conclusion was worth it. The characters were fleshed out and relatable, and Nora and Becca’s relationship was one of my favorite parts of the book. I highly enjoyed the gothic atmosphere and the creepy happenings of the town. Overall, the book did not disappoint when it comes to a satisfying mix of horror and adventure.
