Join us for an evening of edge-of-your-seat thrills with bestselling authors Hannah Mary McKinnon and Shari Lapena.
Hannah Mary McKinnon’s latest thriller is Only One Survives. Becoming the star is easier when the rest of your band is dead… All drummer Vienna Taylor ever wanted was to make music, as long as her best friend, guitarist Madison Pierce, was sharing the spotlight and singing lead. Except, on the way to an event, the Bittersweet’s van careened off an icy mountain road during a blizzard—leaving one member dead and another severely injured. In order to survive the frigid night, the rest took shelter in a nearby abandoned cabin. But one by one, Vienna’s fellow band members met a gruesome end…and Madison simply vanished in the night. What really happened to the Bittersweet? Did Vienna’s closest friend finally decide to take centre stage on her own terms?
Nothing ever happens in sleepy little Fairhill, Vermont. But in Shari Lapena’s latest bestseller, all of that will change. Because Diana Brewer isn’t lying safely in her bed where she belongs. Instead she lies in a hayfield, circled by vultures. How quickly a girl becomes a ghost. How quickly a town of friendly, familiar faces becomes a town of suspects, a place of fear and paranoia. Someone in Fairhill did this. Everyone wants answers. And one innocent question could be deadly.
