Has an ancient evil reawakened? And if so, is it angry at Stella? And why kill red-haired little girls? When the body of a little redheaded girl – who looks an awful lot like Jeannie – turns up, Stella’s memories begin to come back. Unfortunately, it seems that fate has other plans for Stella.
And Stella and her best friend plan to have the best summer ever. Sure, she may not have any memories of what happened to her on that long ago day and sure, maybe sometimes she wonders if it was somehow her fault, but summer is here.
Now Stella’s seventeen and looking forward to her last year of high school. Twelve years earlier Jeanie and Stella were playing near the woods close to home when something really bad happened. Not only is it creepy and cool, but it also contains characters who are so believable that, at times, readers will wonder if this is actually fiction. Not anymore.The fact that THE CREEPING is Alexandra Sirowy’s debut novel is astounding. She used to know better than to believe in what slinks through the shadows. Stella believes remembering what happened to Jeanie will save her. Now all she wants is a summer full of cove days, friends, and her gorgeous crush - until a fresh corpse leads Stella down a path of ancient evil and secrets. And soon, what started as a game of friendship is spiraling into something dangerous and beyond their control-and before it’s over, they’ll pay the ultimate sacrifice. At first, it works like a charm-but when the Order of IV’s escapades get recognition beyond their wildest expectations, other people start wanting in. And so they dream up the Order of IV, a secret society devoted to mischief that rights wrongs and pays back debts. To bind them together, she decides to create that will belong only to them, a special thing that they’ll always share between the four of them. And she’s terrified of their friendship falling apart next year when they go off to college. Izzie loves nothing more than her three best friends, Viv, Graham, and Harry, and the bond the four of them share. A disturbing, morally gray, intense page-turner." Kirkus Review of FIRST WE WERE IV "Four friends cement their bond with a secret society that gets beyond out of control.
