Description

A house party spirals into murder in this taut thriller laced with icy suspense and devastating secrets.

"It's hard to say what's more terrifying, the darkness of the surrounding wilderness, or the darkness that lies inside even the most normal-seeming people."--Ginny Myers Sain, author of Dark and Shallow Lies

In the frozen wilderness of Alaska, Finley, Mya, River, and Eli were inseparable--until tragedy shattered their bond and drove Finley away. Now it's senior year, and she's back, hoping to reclaim the friendships she lost. But when Mya throws a house party on a snowy night, Finley realizes the group isn't what it used to be. And maybe they never were.
Then a stranger crashes the party. Then someone ends up dead. Then everything unravels.

As the four teens scramble to hide what happened, their secrets begin to surface--and the lies they tell each other might be the most dangerous of all. How far will they go to protect each other? And who's worth saving?

About the Author

Jennifer Lynn Alvarez earned her BA in English Literature from the University of California, Berkeley, and went into finance, of all things before she accomplished her childhood dream of becoming an author. Jennifer grew up in Alaska and now divides her time between Northern California and Middle Tennessee with her husband, kids, and more than her fair share of pets. The Trespassers is her 11th novel.

Critical Reviews

"The Trespassers asks the question, 'If you show up with a body, will your best friends grab the shovel?' and pushes the moral compass further with, 'Should they?' The Alaskan setting is as chilling as the secrets these friends carry--both the ones that bind them together and the ones fracturing them apart. Alvarez plunges the reader into an icy thrill ride to see who can get away with murder." --Megan Davidhizar, author of Silent Sister

"It's hard to say what's more terrifying, the darkness of the surrounding wilderness, or the darkness that lies inside even the most normal-seeming people." --Ginny Myers Sain, author of Dark and Shallow Lies

"One of the best and most moving thrillers you'll read this year. Do not miss it!" --David Bell, New York Times bestselling author of She's Gone

"A web of lies, questionable friendships, and twisted secrets that come alive in the woods . . . Alvarez writes fear like it's second nature." --Busayo Matuluko, author of 'Til Death

"A riveting, chilling read." --L. B. Schulman, award-winning author of Stolen Secrets

"This mature and thought-­provoking novel successfully combines elements of mystery, thriller, legal procedural, and teen drama, as well as sets up a meditation on accountability." --School Library Journal
