Don't Breathe A Word

By Jennifer McMahon

Book Overview

"Don't Breathe a Word is a haunting page-turner that kept me up, spine shivering and enthralled, way past my bedtime."
--Joshilyn Jackson, author of Never Have I Ever

On a soft summer night in Vermont, twelve-year-old Lisa went into the woods behind her house and never came out again. Before she disappeared, she told her little brother, Sam, about a door that led to a magical place where she would meet the King of the Fairies and become his queen.

Fifteen years later, Phoebe is in love with Sam, a practical, sensible man who doesn't fear the dark and doesn't have bad dreams--who, in fact, helps Phoebe ignore her own. But suddenly the couple is faced with a series of eerie, unexplained occurrences that challenge Sam's hardheaded, realistic view of the world. As they question their reality, a terrible promise Sam made years ago is revealed--a promise that could destroy them all.

"Jennifer McMahon never flinches and never fails to surprise...as she] weaves a young couple into a perverse fairyland where Rosemary's Baby could be at home."
--Randy Susan Meyers, author of The Murderer's Daughters

Customer Reviews

Interesting story line

This book was far different than what I usually read since I always read fiction but things that could be or are based on true stories. This book has a level of fantasy to it but it kept me captivated for the majority of it. Around the last fifty pages it took a turn that I didn't love but overall I enjoyed this book. In the first half I was definitely seeing this as a movie line. Very cool.
