Hillary Huber is a multiple Audie Award finalist, an Earphones Award winner, and an AudioFile Best Voice. But there are far worse things lurking in the desert ahead…some of them just beneath the skin. Pursued by a mysterious stranger who knows far more about Nell’s worsening condition than they let on, the siblings race to find a way to help Nell and escape the desert before they’re met with a violent, bloody end. As their journey through the desolate American Southwest reveals the grotesque change happening within his sister, one thing becomes clear to Jonah: It’s not only Nell in there anymore. But when a strange accident befalls Nell at an abandoned industrial site somewhere in the Nevada desert, she begins experiencing ghastly visions and exhibiting terrifying, otherworldly symptoms. Now, in the wake of Jonah’s divorce, they embark on a cross-country road trip back to their hometown of Albuquerque, hoping to mend their broken relationship along the way. You can also find one of the author’s short stories in “The Best American Short Stories 2018.Siblings Jonah and Nell Talbot used to be inseparable, but ever since Jonah suddenly blew town twelve years ago, they couldn’t be more distant. They are forced to fight for their lives as they’re pursued across the American Southwest by malevolent forces both supernatural and terribly human.” This one is still on my TBR list, but it’s gotten a lot of great reviews, including “Library Journal” and a starred review in “Publishers Weekly.” From the description: “Two siblings encounter an otherworldly force that possesses one of them on a cross-country road trip.
