The story follows twins Ezra and Ellery who are sent to live with their grandmother whilst their mother is in rehab. I really enjoyed Karen M McManus’s debut novel – One of Us Is Lying, so I was excited to give her new book a shot. Which is why in Echo Ridge, it’s safest to keep your secrets to yourself. The thing is, secrets are dangerous–and most people aren’t good at keeping them. And the longer she’s in Echo Ridge, the clearer it becomes that everyone there is hiding something.

Her mother has them her grandmother does too. Then, almost as if to prove it, another girl goes missing.Įllery knows all about secrets. And before school even begins for Ellery, someone’s declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. The town is picture-perfect, but it’s hiding secrets. Now Ellery has to move there to live with a grandmother she barely knows. And only five years ago, a homecoming queen put the town on the map when she was killed. Her aunt went missing there at age seventeen. Ellery’s never been there, but she’s heard all about it.
