 It started for pranks, fun, and forever memories.
A secret society – for the four of us.
The rules: Never lie. Never tell. Love each other.
We made the pledge and danced under the blood moon on the meteorite in the orchard. In the spot we found the dead girl five years earlier. And discovered the ancient drawings way before that.
Nothing could break the four of us apart – I thought.
But then, others wanted in. Our seaside town had secrets. History.
We wanted revenge.
We broke the rules. We lied. We told. We loved each other too much, not enough, and in ways we weren’t supposed to.
Our invention ratcheted out of control.
What started as a secret society, ended as justice. Revenge. Death. Rebellion. 

Can we take a moment to admire the beauty that is this cover? That cover is so striking and its going to be a pretty edition to have on my book shelves. As for the content, it was a bit of a slow read for me, normally I'm a fast reader there was so much going on with how everything was vividly written that it was better for a me to slow down and enjoy the book more. But I will be honest I stopped / slowed down reading this even more then usual because it was getting to a point where things were getting a bit cult-ish (Not an actual word I know). I'm not a fan of books with cults its never been my thing, but a group of mischief / revenge seeking kids is more of something I enjoy reading about. After a certain point in the book I just couldn't but this book down. I just had to know more. I had to know what was going to happen in the end, I had half a mind to skip to the last page and just spoil it for myself. Now that I'm thinking about it It wouldn't have helped my curiosity and I'm glad I hadn't. When i got down to about 20 pages I got a bit worried thinking its not nearly enough to settle everything and when it got down to it, it was a perfect ending and there was no loose ends. Such a great book i really enjoyed it. I'd rate this book 4.5 stars and highly recommend you readers who are looking for a new book to check out to take a chance at this book, you won't be disappointed!
