Synopsis

A young-adult thriller ricocheting between the bigotry of the past and present as teens unravel their parents’ secrets. Perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying.

Four teens have dug up the time capsule that their parents buried in 1986 and never bothered to recover. But in addition to the expected ephemera of mixtapes, Walkmans, photographs, letters, toys, and assorted junk, Elayah, Liam, Marcie, and Jorja discover something sinister: a hunting knife stained with blood and wrapped with a note. “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kill anyone."

As the action dramatically alternates between the present day and 1986, the mystery unfolds and the sins of the past echo into today. The teens haven't just unearthed a time capsule: they've also dug up pain and secrets that someone--maybe one of their own parents--is willing to kill for.

I was shocked to see the 3.4 average on this book since I enjoyed Lyga’s other books. And, yeah, this book wasn't the best but damn... I will say that the dual timeline probably wasn’t necessary. It was cool to see both ends of the story but it was hard to follow at times with the many characters and......more

Goodreads review by Crystal on November 25, 2021

I am a big fan of the I Hunt Killers trilogy and I loved the blurb about “I didn’t mean to kill anyone…”, but that was almost the only thing good about this book. The premise of 4 teens unearthing a time capsule their parents buried and finding the mysterious note and knife was great. However, it fe......more

Wow - just realized this took me threeish weeks to read. I am having a tough time rating it because there are times it really pulled me in and times that it felt difficult to get through. Overall it felt long and while the concept was interesting, I can see where there are going to be several things......more
