Blending supernatural horror with the cold consequences of high school, Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl is a thriller that will grip readers from the start.


RSVP HERE


Once upon a time, back at Darrow-Harker School, Beatrice Hartley and her five best friends were the cool kids, the beautiful ones. Then the shocking death of Jim — their creative genius and Beatrice’s boyfriend — changed everything.

One year after graduation, Beatrice is returning to Wincroft — the seaside estate where they spent so many nights sharing secrets, crushes, plans to change the world — hoping she’ll get to the bottom of the dark questions gnawing at her about Jim’s death.

But as the night plays out in a haze of stilted jokes and unfathomable silence, Beatrice senses she’s never going to know what really happened.

Then a mysterious man knocks on the door. Blithely, he announces the impossible: time for them has become stuck, snagged on a splinter that can only be removed if the former friends make the harshest of decisions.

Now Beatrice has one last shot at answers … and at life.

And so begins the Neverworld Wake.
