THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the author of Survive the Night and Final Girls comes a tense and twisty thriller about a summer camp that’s impossible to forget—no matter how hard you try.
Two Truths and a Lie. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, and Emma played it all the time in their cabin at Camp Nightingale. But the games ended the night Emma sleepily watched the others sneak out into the darkness. The last she—or anyone—saw of the teenagers was Vivian closing the cabin door behind her, hushing Emma with a finger pressed to her lips.
Fifteen years later, Emma is a rising star in the New York art scene, turning her past into paintings—massive canvases filled with dark leaves and gnarled branches over ghostly shapes in white dresses. When the paintings catch the attention of the wealthy owner of Camp Nightingale, she implores Emma to come back to the newly reopened camp as a painting instructor.
Despite her guilt and anxiety—or maybe because of them—Emma agrees to revisit her past. Nightingale looks the same as it did all those years ago, haunted by a midnight-dark lake and familiar faces. Emma is even assigned to the same cabin she slept in as a teenager, although the security camera pointed at her door is a disturbing new addition.
As cryptic clues about the camp's origins begin to surface, Emma attempts to find out what really happened to her friends. But her closure could come at a deadly price.

[Let's talk about the 9 books that I read in October!\ \ October fantasy book pick: Wild Revernece by Rebecca Ross\ \ I gave this one 4.25 stars. I absolutely love Rebecca Ross's writing. so atmospheric and beautiful. I loved the characters ad their love story so so much. This is a prequel to divine rivals duology but i dont think you need to read the original duology before or read this prior! This can totally be read as a standalone.\ \ October horror book pick: Theme Music by T. Marie Vandelly\ \ I gave this book 3 stars. Part of my dissapointment with this book was my assumption that this was going to be absolutely horrifying. This book definitely did have its dark and gory moments, however, THIS IS NOT A HORROR. this is a thriller book through and through. I did wish we had read something more scary and creepy for October... if you go into this with different expectations than I did, then maybee you would enjoy this more\ \ Quick recap of all the other books that I read\ \
- Do You Remember by Freida McFadden: 3 stars this was fun but nothing special\ \
- Tell Me What You Did by Carter Wilson: 3 stars I was hooked the entire time but ending was anticlimactic and boring\ \
- Red City by Marie Lu: 5 STARS AMAZING THE BEST BOOK IVE READ ALL YEAR\ \
- Long Time Gone by Charlie Donlea: 3.75 stars this is a great mystery/thriller. always solid reads from this author\ \
- The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager: 3 stars this was just okay. Felt dragged out but I like the ending. also felt a bit YA\ \
- Brother by Ania Ahlborn: 4.5 stars WOOWW this book is actually insane I'm obsessed. one of the darkest books Ive ever read\ \
- The Perfect Son by Freida McFadden: 3 stars this was just okay. fun time but not memorable\ \ \ DNF\ \
- Alchemised by Sen Lin Yu: I got to around 350pages with the audio book and the world building was too intricate and detailed to the point where the story wasn't progressing and every sentence was the most descriptive sentence about every little thing and I just could not do it anymore. I Never finished reading the HP series and did not read manacled.The writing wasn't "bad." in fact, it was quite beautiful. just the way the story was being told and the plot not progressing a the pace I wanted it to was disappointing.\ \ \ Join for free or login](https://the-infinite-realms-bookclub.binderybooks.com/item/2WVB1kjQJSSnUzbOIX6U/)
