Return to Midnight by Emma Dues Book Review

Book Synopsis: On the anniversary of a savage mass murder, a survivor returns to the scene of the crime―and all its buried secrets―in a twisting novel of suspense.

Nearly ten years ago, five Ohio university students were murdered in an off-campus Victorian home. The media dubbed it the Midnight House Massacre. Ever since, survivor and novelist Margot Davis has wanted to forget it, and never again utter the killer’s name. Until she’s compelled to write her side of the story. To do that, she’s returning to Midnight House.

It’ll be a chance for Margot to reconnect with other survivors, heal the trauma, and dispel the ugly conspiracy theories of obsessed true crime fanatics. But when news of Margot’s book gets out, she receives a threatening note that demands she stop lying. Or else. It chills Margot’s blood. Because she hasn’t been telling the whole truth.

As the threats continue, each more sinister than the last, a journalist comes to Margot with new suspicions about that brutal October night. Now, to save her own life, Margot must reveal her well-guarded secrets―ones that, for good reason, she’s been too terrified to share.

💭 Review: “How does this book not have a better average rating?! This was so good!

Towards the end I thought, “oh dang I thought it was going to go in this direction that would have been way better” then the author said, “be f**** for real.” and showed me up with not only what I thought should have happened but even better.

There were quite a few twists and turns in this one, and I was genuinely holding on for dear life, trying to figure out what was going to happen next.

Keeping track of all of the characters was a bit tricky at times but it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the book at all.

The past and present timelines kept me HOOKED. I just kept listening to the audiobook because I NEEDED to know who did it and what happened.

I’ll definitely be looking at reading more from this author!”
