When she moved in with her father, she stepped into a brand-new life. A life with a stepbrother, a stepmother, and strangest of all, an adoring younger half sister. \u003cbr\u003e   Kacey’s new life is eerily charming compared with the wild highs and lows of the old one she lived with her volatile mother. And everyone is so nice in Broken Falls—she’s even been welcomed into a tight new circle of friends. Bailey and Jade invite her to do everything with them.\u003cbr\u003e   Which is why it’s so odd when they start acting distant. And when they don’t invite her to the biggest party of the year, it doesn't exactly feel like an accident.\u003cbr\u003e    But Kacey will never be able to ask, because Bailey never makes it home from that party. Suddenly, Broken Falls doesn’t seem so welcoming after all—especially once everyone starts looking to the new girl for answers.\u003cbr\u003e    Kacey is about to learn some very important lessons: Sometimes appearances can be deceiving. Sometimes when you’re the new girl, you shouldn’t trust anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eLittle Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eThomas creates a disturbing portrait \u003c\/b\u003eof how bad news and gossip can curdle when mixed together.\"-Oprah.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eAn eerie and masterly psychological thrille\u003c\/b\u003er...[that] culminates in a shocking and disturbing ending.
