Secrets Never Die is a creepy thriller from New York Times bestselling author Vincent Ralph about four teens who all have secrets that are coming back to haunt...and terrorize.
We call it the Dark Place. I don't know who built it or when but, for us, it's special.
Every year Sam Hall and his friends hold funerals for their secrets in an abandoned hut in the woods that they call the Dark Place. But this year, their secrets are coming back from the dead...to terrorize them.
Sam is a former child star whose career went up in flames – literally. And no one, not even his best friend knows why. His friends each hold a secret pertaining to the night. A secret they would all like buried.
Now someone from the past is blackmailing them with their dangerous secrets. Sam isn't sure who he can trust, who's watching him – or how far he's willing to go to bury the past once and for all.
When you're alone in the dark, some things won't stay hidden.

Seventeen-year-old Sam Hall—a former child TV star with a haunted past—has just arrived at his friend Dom’s annual Halloween party when he and some classmates, including his girlfriend and Dom’s sister, vacate the festivities and head into the woods. Every year, the tight-knit group engages in a secret ritual at the Dark Place, an abandoned shack in the forest: one by one, they enter the structure alone and confess a secret they’ve been hiding. While Sam is inside the Dark Place, he hears a terrible scream, and exits the shack to find that it’s been pelted with blood-filled eggs. After the group returns to Dom’s house, they begin receiving creepy text messages from someone named Sasha Craven (“Don’t be shy. I just want to be friends”). They dismiss the occurrence and move on from that night. But Sam wrestles with a feeling of constantly being watched, and when the unsettling texts evolve into threatening messages about each of the teens’ darkest secrets, cracks begin forming in the group’s once-solid friendships. Ralph (Lock the Doors) relies on familiar thriller tropes to craft a fast-paced mystery steeped in malevolent atmosphere. Most characters are white. Ages 13–up.
