I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is a mystery. A story about some teenagers going out for a camping holiday in a group of five. The protagonist Heather only agrees to go there to be close to Dougie. Three of his friends are also there. Then they disturb a pagan burial site, and Heather feels that they have awoken an evil spirit. One year later, Heather is waiting for Dougie to wake from his coma, because she desperately needs him to prove her sanity and innocence.

Oh wow this was awesome. The narrative switches between "then" and "now", so we basically get two different stories told. It is really well done and plays together well. The characters are really interesting, and I loved that the mystery wasn't really resolved until the very end. Wow, it was so good and I didn't see it coming at all. I would definitely recommend it if you loved We Were Liars or Vanishing Girls.
