Publisher's summary

From the author of international horror sensation Gone to See the River Man comes a new tale of terror that will drag you to the darkest corners of the soul.

Some girls are fearful, others are brave. One girl’s a princess, the next one a slave. But all girls are equal when they’re down in this cave, until just one is left standing—The Prettiest Girl in the Grave.

It was only supposed to be a game.

When Bella, Celeste, and Rose meet with new friends at a graveyard in the woods, they soon realize they’re unprepared for what’s planned. At 20, Aubrey is older than the high schoolers, and she knows of a secret game that’s been played by local girls for decades.

It starts with personal questions, but quickly moves on to a test of courage as Aubrey guides them into an underground crypt. But even Aubrey doesn’t know what they’re really getting into. Bella’s mother, Holly, may be the only one who does.

As a teen, Holly and her friends also played the game, and Holly barely survived. When she discovers her daughter has gone to the graveyard, she fears Bella will get lost in the mysterious catacombs just as she had—and face the same sinister forces.

As the girls search for a way out, Holly must return to the dreadful crypt she swore she’d never come back to, and finally face her own dark secrets.

Good solid story.

The actor was very distracting, especially in her pronunciation of macabre as “macabray”. 3x - I was losing my mind each time

As expected Triana

Campy without being goofy, it's a good listen. Always worth the buy getting Kristopher Triana books, and a solid performance read as well.

Not my favorite Triana book, but still worth the listen

There were a few places in the book where the narrator would repeat sentences, but it was only a handful of times so it didn’t bother me much, just enough to note. Overall the performance was good, her voice fit the teenagers well, but not so much the adults or males. Totally understandable because not everyone can hit every voice characteristic, but it did pull me out of the story a bit.

The story itself was the third Triana book i’ve listened to, it wasn’t my favorite, which was Full Brutal, but it wasn’t the worst. The plot was interesting as a concept, but i felt like I knew where it was going to end about half way through. The descriptions of gore and death that he wrote were gorgeous though, which I’ve come to learn he does well. He really does love the word macabre, as I’m pretty sure it was said at least five times. Just kinda made me laugh a little. I did love the add in of emo and goth culture, that was a fun nod to something that is important to me, as well as other people who are into horror i’d imagine.

Overall, if you want to listen to a creepy story about goths in a terrifying, ever shifting labyrinth under a cemetery, give it a go!

I enjoyed it

A fun story where the location was quite interesting and all in all a nice dark story. The narrator mispronounces things here and there (macabre as muh-kob-ray) which is a little jarring but overall does a good job with the teen girl's voices and it's only a few times.

Listened in one sitting

I was in a funk and this took me out of it. Listened to all 7 hours in one sitting. The performance was great. It was funny how she mispronounced macabre though. lol.

It was ok, not an extreme horror

The narrator doesn’t know how to pronounce the word “macabre” which bothered me.

Decent story but not extreme horror.

The narrator was hard to listen to.

I feel like I maybe would have liked this story more if there was a different narrator. Her cadence made it sound like AI narrating and the mispronounced words (macabre as mahkabray, ethereal as ehthril, and sepulchre as sepel-chure for example) was especially frustrating.
The story itself was good, pretty gory and an interesting twist on small town urban legends.

Was expecting extreme horror, got Goosebumps level garbage.

Complete waste of my credit. The writers story at the end of volume 1 of years best extreme horror, was FANTASTIC!!! Sooooo, I searched for more from him and reviews said gore, etc. The story was ok but not at all what I was looking for. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. Narrator did a good job. Story was, meh. Like something that literally could be on Nickelodeon though. Uggggh.
