West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the tragic death of her daughter, Gertie. Now, in present day, nineteen-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice, and her younger sister, Fawn. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that suddenly proves perilous when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished without a trace. Searching for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneath the floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked deeper into the mystery of Sara's fate, she discovers that she's not the only person who's desperately looking for someone that they've lost. But she may be the only one who can stop history from repeating itself.

Scary as hell submitted by amandaberry on August 27, 2017, 9:18am What did I scoff at when I read the description of this book? zombies What scared the daylights out of me when I read this book? ZOMBIES . This is a creepy sci-fi mystery with plenty of twists and turns. I think it's also important that this book features many female characters that have continual interactions that do not involve a man. Refreshing.

Strange submitted by steveiew on June 22, 2018, 11:19am The story was a strange mix of sad history mixed with zombies. The number of female characters is nice but overall it was just a strange premise.
