In the summer of 1989, six kids from a small upstate New York town discovered something impossible in the abandoned quarry caves. Metal detectors in hand, Iron Maiden t-shirts faded from countless washes, they stumbled upon a secret that would change everything they thought they knew about the world.
Then they vanished without a trace.
For thirty years, Detective Carmen Santamaría has carried the weight of that unsolved case—the one that destroyed her career, shattered her family, and left her drowning in whiskey and obsession. Six children who simply disappeared into thin air, leaving behind only questions that no one wanted answered.
Now, in 2019, they're back.
Not as the children who vanished, but as the adults they should have become—aged exactly thirty years, with memories of a life that couldn't possibly exist. They remember everything about that summer day in '89, but what happened in between remains a mystery locked behind impossible truths.
As strange phenomena begin manifesting in their hometown—reality itself seeming to bend and fracture—the survivors must confront a truth more incredible than anything they experienced as children. Because whatever took them wasn't finished with them. And this time, the stakes aren't just their own lives, but the future of humanity itself.
From the author comes a mind-bending thriller that blends Stranger Things nostalgia with cosmic horror, Stand by Me heart with X-Files mystery. A story about friendship that transcends time, childhood that never truly ends, and the price we pay for growing up in a universe far stranger than we ever imagined.
Some summers never end. Some friendships transcend time itself. And some secrets are too dangerous to stay buried.
"A masterpiece of supernatural suspense that will make you believe in the impossible."
"The most original sci-fi thriller since Stephen King's IT."
"Nostalgic, terrifying, and utterly unputdownable."
The first three pages of chapter 13 and 15 are the exact same.
The timeline is a mess. One chapter starts off in July and the next chapter it’s June! And no it’s not a flashback. The chapter titles have NOTHING to do with the current chapter. It also seems as though the author doesn’t remember the book is taking place in the US. Everything references the metric system and sometimes he has the characters in Madrid when they are clearly in their hometown in NEW MEXICO.
I got this book on Audible and have no idea how it’s even listed there. Bizarre and poor are the only words I can use to describe this. I don’t know who the author is but I really think this was some sort of AI attempt at a book. I can see why no reputable publishing company even touched this book. Don’t waste a Nickle on this confusing piece of garbage.
Most poorly written book I’ve ever read
