She and her cousin Heather are closer than sisters and they share everything with each other--or so Ivy thinks.

Don't enter the woods. Never go out at night. </i> Those are the rules in Rowan's Glen, a remote farming community in the Missouri Ozarks where Ivy Templeton's family has lived for centuries. It's an old-fashioned way of life, full of superstition and traditions, and sixteen-year-old Ivy loves it. The other kids at school may think the Glen kids are weird, but Ivy doesn't care--she has her cousin Heather as her best friend. The two girls share everything with each other--or so Ivy thinks. When Heather goes missing after a May Day celebration, Ivy discovers that both her best friend and her beloved hometown are as full of secrets as the woods that surround them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* "Jude's characters exude authenticity, and the suspense stays palpable through the final pages." <br><b>--</b><i><b>Publishers Weekly, </b></i><b>STARRED review</b> <p/> "Poetic, multisensory narration immerses the reader in mystery and horror.
