One summer. One hair-raising secretive visit into underground tunnels. A group of boys forever changed.I couldn't get Stephen King's "It" out of my mind while reading this. Not because there is a creepy clown in these tunnels, but the plot, atmosphere and the group of characters just felt so similar.It took me a couple of chapters to really get into this story. I didn't connect immediately. But once I realized something sinister was afoot, I sat up and paid attention.Now all grown up, Drew returns to the town of his childhood and old wounds are opened that he would rather leave in the past and forgotten.  Though you can run from the past, you can't hide. And the truth comes to find Drew, whether he wants it or not.But what exactly IS the truth?Even I don't quite know. It is hard to distinguish fact from fiction in this story, because Drew himself can't seem to be certain of what really happened so many years ago.This dark novella turned out to be a much more sinister and unpredictable storyline than I expected, on some levels.  Muddy memories keep you guessing about what really happened that night in 1985 to these kids. Interesting quick read.** This was generously provided through Netgalley for an honest review. **
