Review: “A Step Past Darkness” Novel by Vera Kurian
Summary & Review:
Wesley Falls is a nice suburban town, but there’s something scary going on below the surface. It’s not just the abandoned coal mine. At the beginning of the summer of 1995, there is a party in the mine where six high school students see a terrible crime that changes their lives.
The six are very different from each other:
- Maddy, who goes to the local megachurch every week
- Kelly, who lives next door and loves reading
- James, who is tired and cynical
- Casey, a sweet football player
- Padma, a shy straight-A student
- Jia, who is starting to see things she can’t explain
Once they understand that they can only trust each other, they start to look into what happened on their own. Tensions in town reach a breaking point, so the six swear to remain silent, bury all their evidence, and never talk to each other again. Their plan almost works.
Twenty years later, Jia calls them all to Wesley Falls to tell them that Maddy has been killed and that they are the only ones who can figure out why. But they need to go back to the mine one last time to end things.
