The Dead Girl’s Book Club

One year ago, Cleo Griffen died.

Maren Jennings survived, but a traumatic brain injury left her with long-term memory loss and no recollection of what happened the night her best friend died. The only version of that night she knows is the one her friends have told her.

Now, Maren, Kinslee, Lakelynn, Iris, and Sage are returning to the secluded lakeside cottage where everything changed. But their reunion takes a sinister turn when a mysterious book appears, containing secrets only the six of them should know. Soon, hidden clues scattered throughout the cottage begin exposing the lies, betrayals, and secrets they buried one year ago.

Everyone remembers what happened the night Cleo died.

Except Maren.

As each clue brings them closer to the truth, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: someone knows what really happened that night.

And they’re not leaving until every secret is uncovered.
