Dark Places

ibby Day was just seven years old when her older brother massacred her family while she hid in a cupboard. Her evidence helped put him away.

When she is offered $500 to do a guest appearance, she feels she has to accept. But this is no ordinary gathering.

Through her, Ben became involved with drugs and the dark arts. When the town suddenly turned against him, his thoughts turned black. But was he capable of murder? Libby must delve into her family's past to uncover the truth - no matter how painful...
