From the bestselling author of Wilder
Girls and queen of twisty narratives, Rory Power, comes her
highly anticipated new Young Adult thriller. Last
summer, Nan's three best friends disappeared into Saltcedar Canyon.
She's spent the year since grieving their loss and avoiding
questions about what happened that night. Now, on the anniversary,
she's ready to say goodbye, and so are the girls' families,
who have reconvened to hold a memorial. But their vigil is interrupted
by the shocking return of one of the missing girls alive.
Everybody is overjoyed. Everybody, that is, except Nan, who was
pretty sure they were dead.
After all, she's the one who
killed them.
Atmospheric, fast-paced and vividly realised, Kill Creatures
is a book about secrets, jealousy, violence and revenge.
