Perfect town. Perfect homes. Perfect families. It' s enough to drive some women mad. . . In a tale inspired by real events, pregnant journalist Joan Harken is cautiously excited to follow her fiance back to his Minnesota hometown. After spending a childhood on the move and chasing the screams and swirls of news-rich city life, she' s eager to settle down. Lilydale' s motto, ' Come Home Forever,' couldn' t be more inviting. And yet, something is off in the picture-perfect village. The friendliness borders on intrusive. Joan can' t shake the feeling that every move she makes is being tracked. An archaic organisation still seems to hold the town in thrall. So does the sinister secret of a little boy who vanished decades ago. And unless Joan is imagining things, a frighteningly familiar figure from her past is on watch in the shadows. Her fiance tells her she' s being paranoid. He might be right. Then again, she might have moved to the deadliest small town on earth. ' I should know better than to pick up a new Jess Lourey book, thinking I' ll just peek at the first few pages and get then back to the book I was reading. Six hours later, it' s three in the morning and I' m racing through the last few chapters, unable to sleep until I know how it all ends. Set in an idyllic small town rooted in family history and horrific secrets, Bloodline is Pleasantville meets Rosemary' s Baby. A deeply unsettling, darkly unnerving, and utterly compelling novel, this book chilled me to the core, and I loved every bit of it. ' - Jennifer Hillier, author of Little Secrets and the award-winning Jar of Hearts
