From "one of the hottest horror authors on the planet" (Paste) and writer of the #HorrorBookTok sensation The Troop—a heart-pounding novel of terror about a young woman searching for her missing friend and uncovering a shocking truth.
On a sunny morning in June, Margaret Carpenter wakes up to find a new iPhone on her doorstep. She switches it and is greeted by a text from her best friend, Charity Atwater. The problem is, Charity's been missing for over a month. Most people in town—even the police—think she's dead.

Margaret and Charity have been lifelong friends. They share everything, know the most intimate details about each another...except for the destructive secret hidden from them both. A secret that will trigger a chain of events ending in tragedy, bloodshed, and death. And now Charity wants Margaret to know her story—the real story.

In a narrative that takes place over one feverish day, Margaret follows a series of increasingly disquieting breadcrumbs as she forges deeper into the mystery of her best friend—a person she never truly knew at all....

      Cutter (The Troop) offers a heartfelt yet horrific coming-of-age tale, starting with nascent visceral descriptions that eventually emerge, fully fledged, into a monstrously beautiful body horror. A month after her best friend Charity disappears, Margaret finds a new iPhone on her front porch with a text from her missing friend. Charity offers to tell Margaret what happened the harrowing day she disappeared, a day that ended in death and horror. Soon, Margaret discovers she never knew what lurked within her best friend. Mean Girls spliced with The Fly may sound like an odd pitch, but Cutter delivers, injecting this premise with blood-soaked horror, nerve-shredding suspense, and heartrending emotion, along with some examples of teen (and general human) cruelty. A stellar voice cast including Ariel Blake, Zac Aleman, Corey Brill, and Pete Simonelli covers the evolution and subsequent mutation of the teen girls' friendship. Blake is a standout, perfectly portraying Margaret, the only terrified witness to the crawling evil that consumes her and her small town. VERDICT For fans of Cutter's descriptions of mutilations and mutations and Grady Hendrix fans looking for something more gruesome, this book breaks a listener's heart before pulling it out of their chest.--James Gardner
