The Sleepover
When you're a kid, you imagine monsters to have horns and fangs. That they hide under the bed or in the wardrobe. And you believe they can only come after you when it's dark.
You don't expect them to look like everyday people or that they may be someone you already know...
The summer in question started out with hot, fun-filled days and new friendships.
We had just turned thirteen and had our whole lives ahead of us.
But that was before her...
Before we became known as the Hixton Five and our lives become defined by one night.
It's hard to believe twenty years have passed since she was locked away.
But now she's free and strange things have started to happen.
When I close my eyes, the creeping anxiety and fear is overwhelming and all too real.
Because the monster is back, and I know she has a score to settle with us.

This was the book that reignited my love for reading. After years of only picking up a few books here and there, The Sleepover pulled me headfirst back into the world of thrillers—and I’ve been chasing that same perfect dark, twisty feeling ever since.
This story has everything I crave in a thriller: suspense, mystery, and heart-pounding tension. It’s dark and haunting, with twists so sharp and unpredictable they left me reeling. The characters are complex yet tragically human, making the story hit even harder.
Keri Beevis has become one of my all-time favorite authors—I’ve devoured many of her books since, but this one will always hold a special place as the one that started it all. My only regret? Waiting so long to finally write this review.
