"Buckle up for a wild road trip." Carson Atkinson, ARC reader "That ending!" Bianca McNeil, Senior Editor "From the queen of whiplash endings comes a story that will leave your head spinning." Tim B, FFT “Like 'Hotel California'—you can check out of Harmony Springs, but you can never leave.” Mary S, The Indie Review Welcome to Harmony Springs, where every day is perfect... forever. When Alex Whitaker and three friends stumble upon this picturesque town during their carefree road trip, they're instantly captivated by its idyllic beauty and warm hospitality. But beneath the flawless facade, something isn't quite right. Time behaves strangely, escape seems impossible, and the town seems to know their deepest desires and fears. As unsettling cracks appear in Harmony Springs' perfect veneer, Alex and his friends must confront dark secrets - both the town's and their own. In a place where perfection is eternal, what price must be paid for paradise? Beth Curry brings her background in forensics and psychology to her writing. Her works include the personal non-fiction "The Broken Heart" (2008), and her 2024 short story collections "Autopsy of the Mind" and "Dissection of the Soul", the novella "Fatal Reflections", and her first full length novel "Fault Lines". EDITORIAL REVIEW A chilling, immersive journey into the uncanny… Curry’s latest is a thrilling cocktail of suspense, surrealism, and psychological intensity. Alex Whitaker and his friends embark on a road trip, only for their journey to take an unexpected turn when their car breaks down near Harmony Springs. But beneath the town’s picture-perfect facade lurks a darker truth. As reality bends and time warps in unsettling ways, they must fight for their sanity and escape the town’s grasp before it’s too late. Curry deftly captures Alex’s descent into isolation and paranoia. His strained relationships with his friends become a tense exploration of group dynamics, each succumbing to the town’s manipulations in different ways. The prose is sharp, building tension through vivid imagery and subtle, unsettling details. From the shimmering yet ominous Eternal Fountain to the unnerving synchronicity of the townspeople, every element pulses with an eerie wrongness. Harmony Springs itself feels alive, its shifting streets and hidden secrets both alluring and menacing. The novel expertly blurs the line between illusion and reality, leaving readers to question the very nature of happiness, identity, and belonging. Fans of psychological thrillers and speculative fiction will find much to savor in this suspenseful story. (The Prairies Book Review)
