Author Melissa Albert is back with the new book The Bad Ones. Nora and Becca have been best friends for as long as they can remember. After a mysterious emergency pickup, Becca seems to have cut Nora out of her life entirely. When Nora receives a strange text from Nora in the middle of the night, she rushes to her home. That night, four people vanish from their small town without any sign of where they could have gone. Nora immediately tries to figure out where Becca has gone, but keeps coming across a series of seemingly coded messages from her best friend. Could the secret to Becca’s disappearance be connected to an occult childhood game the two once played?
Melissa Albert is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors to come across my review desk. Her writing is smart, fascinating, and fabulously creepy. Her female characters feel like real people, even when they do seemingly unreal things. The Bad Ones is the type of book that once you dive in, you won’t want to put down until you get to the stunning conclusion.
The Bad Ones is now available.
