Description
Widow’s Bay meets Riverdale in this romantic supernatural horror mystery set on a winter island in 1997, from New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard.
Wren Peters is not supposed to be interested in Archer Sullivan. He’s the enemy, and the electric kiss they shared in the basement of the Historical Society while a blizzard blustered outside? Nope, didn’t happen.
Same thing regarding Wren’s dream of that guy who wound up murdered: didn’t happen. Sure, supernatural stuff is common on Blackbird Island—if you believe in it. But Wren refuses to believe in it, so that solves that.
Unfortunately, family rivalries and murder won’t let Wren off so easily. After her sister and Archer’s brother go missing, she finds herself pulled into a twisty web of hauntings and history, of money trails and real estate, or rivalries with roots that aren’t all they seem, and a hot Sullivan who’s so much more than he seems…
Plus, don’t forget the freaky visions she can’t control. So now if Wren doesn’t start believing—and start listening to what the visions are trying to tell her—then more people are going to end up dead. Including herself.

Susan Dennard has a way of writing atmospheres that burrow under your skin and don’t let go. She’s a queen of eerie settings and marvellous storytelling, and this is no different. Wren’s family, the Peters, have had a feud with the Sullivan’s ever since something happened between their grandfathers ages ago. The Peters are full of fire, and when Gilly Peters and Chase Sullivan suddenly disappear without a trace, circumstances make her work with Archer Sullivan, and the fire in her amplifies. She’s been having dreams that might just be more than they seem, so her and Archer work against the clock to find Gilly and Chase, because whatever is hunting them, has already killed before.
This was such an intriguing story! I loved the integration of the nursery rhymes, and the family feud with unclear background gave everything a deeper dimension of obscurity. I’m really curious as to what the next book in this series will bring, as this was an immediate add-to-shelf!
