I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. Patrick Ryan has lived in Evergreen his entire life and is considered a pillar in this small community. Losing his father at an early age then his mother’s subsequent abandonment, Aidan McCleary spent his days looking after Patrick. Now there’s a serial killer lurking in their community. While others are suggesting they call the police, Patrick refuses and is convinced it’s one of their own. Will he be able to find the killer before it’s too late? What happens when secrets are revealed?

Although this novella was only 100 pages, it certainly is gripping. The book kept me engrossed until the very end. The scary part that took me aback was the brutality of the townspeople. This is a novel is one you don’t want to read in the dark. Evergreen is one of the best horror stories I’ve read in a very long time.
