For fans of Stranger Things comes a suspenseful YA mystery about a missing kid, a girl who can see ghosts, and a horrifying crime only four outcasts have the power to stop.
What if the only person who could help you find your missing brother was
dead?
Nothing is as important to sixteen-year-old Shiloh Oleson as her little brother
Max. So when the six-year-old goes missing without a trace, a heartbroken
Shiloh refuses to believe nothing can be done and sets out to find him.
When one of Shiloh’s classmates says she knows where Max is, Shiloh hesitates
to believe her. Francesca is creepy. She says she can see ghosts, but everyone
knows ghosts aren’t real … right?
But Francesca says that Max is going to be murdered.
And a ghost told her where he is.
As the line between the dead and living begins to blur, Shiloh starts to think
Francesca might not be as crazy as she believed. One thing is becoming clear.
Someone has gruesome plans for Max, and Shiloh must confront her worst
nightmares to find him before it’s too late.

Book Trailer:
Rating: 4 1/2 bookish stars
This YA mystery novel is full of twists and turns which glued my attention to the story until the very end. I just had to know what happened and couldn’t put the book down for one second. The writing style was unique and I loved it that the characters were written in a way where you could put yourself in their shoes for a second. It made them seem more real.
“They Stay” is also a fair rep for mental health as it talks about some mental health issues. Which might not be for everyone as there are mentions of suicide, abuse and bullying. So be aware of that before reading the book.
Also be aware that you will become obsessed with ghosts after having read “They Stay” and maybe you might be able to associate them as something else as dangerous. At least Francesca thinks so.
If you are a fan of spooky mystery YA thrillers that can get too intense then this novel is one that you should read!
