The Spires by Kate Moretti
4.0
3.5 rounded up to 4 stars.
20 years earlier, college friends decided to live together for a year after college in a house that had been converted from a church. There was a devastating fire there, and after that, the friends drifted apart. There was Pip or Penelope, Willa, Jack, Bree, and Flynn. Since they lived in an old church, they nicknamed themselves The Spires.
Now, Penelope receives a note from Jack asking for a reunion. The thought makes her sick. When Willa shows up at her home, claiming she is running from an abusive husband, Penelope agrees to let her stay. Initially, she thinks Willa is helping her family find itself again. But, then strange things start happening and Penelope starts to wonder if she is imagining things.
This was an interesting story, and a fast read. The ending was a bit of a surprise, but not totally unexpected.
