The Neighbors

By Corneshia Baker

THE PERFECT NEIGHBORS. THE PERFECT LIFE. THE PERFECT LIE.

For twenty years, Miranda Baker has been haunted by the night her sister, Amanda, vanished from their Kentucky home. No tracks, no witnesses, and no body. Moving her family to the quiet suburbs of Peoria was supposed to be a fresh start-a chance to finally leave the past behind.

However, the past has a way of emerging into the light.

When Miranda meets her new neighbors, the Coles, something feels... off. Beneath their cherry pies and friendly smiles lies a devotion to "family tradition" that borders on the fanatical. And when a silver sparrow necklace-the same one Amanda was wearing the night she disappeared-surfaces in the hands of a local boy, Miranda's world begins to fracture.

Miranda is forced into a race against time. The deeper she digs into the Coles' history, the closer she gets to a truth more terrifying than any nightmare.

Some secrets are meant to stay buried. And some family lines are better left to die.
