The Nursery Rhyme

Some rhymes are lullabies. Some are warnings.

Reese never expected a routine drive through Calloway Creek to change everything. But when she stops for a girl on the side of the road — barefoot, hollow-eyed, and terrified — she steps into a darkness that has been waiting for her far longer than she knows.

Willow holds secrets that reach back decades. And as the truth begins to surface, Reese realizes the monster at the centre of it all isn't a stranger.

Told through the eyes of women separated by time but bound by the same wound, The Nursery Rhyme is a haunting debut about predators who hide in plain sight, the silence that protects them — and what happens when the women they underestimated finally find each other.

He thought the rhyme would die with them. He was wrong.
