Review: Don't Breathe A Word by Jennifer McMahon

Don't Breathe A Word

by

Jennifer McMahon

A mysterious and creepy tale of dark fairies, long ago stories, and hidden family secrets. As I look out my back door and into the woods, I wonder if there is really anything out there, and just what might be looking back at me.

Twelve year old Lisa went missing in Vermont one summer night. Vanished into the woods never to be seen again. What people didn't know was that during that summer, Lisa had thought she had found the King of the Fairies. She wanted to be with him. Her brother Sam and friend Evie knew about it but thought she would eventually quit all the fairy nonsense.

Fifteen years has now past. Sam has long tried to forget everything about that summer. All he ever wanted was his sister back. He's now with a woman named Phoebe and seriously wished his mother would quit the pressuring for them to have children. He doesn't want any. Sometimes it seems like his mother just wants to turn Phoebe into a housewife.

Out of the blue, random, odd things start happening to Sam and Phoebe.  A phone call, people that were there and suddenly disappearing. It all seems to revolve around one thing.

Lisa.

She's back.

How? Is this even true?

Now it's time for all the skeletons to come out of the closet.

The fairies too.
