They were eleven when they sent a killer to prison . . .
They were heroes . . . but they were liars.
By Kate Alice Marshall
The premise of this had me hooked.
Three young girls head into the woods to play their “Goddess Game,” but one is brutally attacked. Is it possible none of them know who the attacker was? Was it the known serial killer that was in the area at the time? When Naomi returns to her hometown, where the attack that disfigured her face occurred, she needs to put the pieces together. She meets with Cass & Liv to get closure. But the mystery just begins for Naomi as she is faced with questions about the past from many, including the new Chief of Police and a Podcaster looking for a story.
This one had me turning pages to find out who “the bad guy” was. Their were some good misdirects & red herrings that I never guessed. The nod to Greek Goddesses was an interesting bonus that made me wish I knew more about them. This had a bit of a creepy vibe and is definitely for fans of Lisa Jewel.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an ARC.
