Inspired by a terrifying true story from the author's hometown, a heart-pounding novel of suspense about a small Minnesota community where nothing is as quiet--or as safe--as it seems. Cassie McDowell's life in 1980s Minnesota seems perfectly wholesome. She lives on a farm, loves school, and has a crush on the nicest boy in class. Yes, there are her parents' strange parties and their parade of deviant guests, but she's grown accustomed to them. All that changes when someone comes hunting in Lilydale. One by one, local boys go missing. One by one, they return changed--violent, moody, and withdrawn. What happened to them becomes the stuff of shocking rumors. The accusations of who's responsible grow just as wild, and dangerous town secrets start to surface. Then Cassie's own sister undergoes the dark change. If she is to survive, Cassie must find her way in an adult world where every sin is justified, and only the truth is unforgivable.

I wanted to read this book because it was based on true events. "Unspeakable Things" was even better than my expectations. It was so well written. I fell in love with the innocent main character Cassie, a thirteen-year-old girl at the time of the abductions. I couldn't put the book down. Not only because I was interested in solving the mystery, but because I had so much concern for the main character Cassie. I wanted to hear the end of her story and hoped for a good ending for her.
I look forward to reading more books by Jess Lourey.
If you liked Glass Castles, you will like this book.
