After a series of disappointments and mishaps at college, Josh Blevins returns to his small hometown, loyal dog in tow, and begrudgingly settles in. Though he feels like a failure and his life is at a crossroads, he’s made new friends and even found a girl.
But the pleasant façade of Midnight Falls he remembered from childhood hides a sinister evil. One that goes beyond the hate festering within the borders and etched in the streets to something much deeper and chilling. Anyone and everyone could be a monster lurking behind the mask of hospitality. Knowing who to trust is impossible, especially when he’s constantly butting heads with the sheriff, who has a grudge against him, an axe to grind, and no intentions of burying it unless it’s in Josh’s back.
Somehow, he's become an outsider in a place he once called home, and is suddenly forced to choose between facing his problems or to keep running for the rest of his life. And what lingers in the dark may not let him survive long enough to decide.
Fans of "The Howling" by Gary Brandner, "Salem's Lot" by Stephen King, or "Midnight Mass" will enjoy "Midnight Falls".

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -
This was interesting, though a bit confusing in the beginning. Josh came to Midnight Falls to find himself when things had gone bad for him. He had no idea what he had stepped into. He made friends with his neighbors, Joel and Brad. He fell in love with Lizzie. He made enemies with just about everyone else. As things got darker and stranger, the truth came out. So as not to ruin the story, I leave it here, though the ending of the story was both scary and touching.
I received an ARC through Rowan Prose Publishing, and this is my unsolicited review.
