The Ever End by Audrey Wilson

Description

A mysterious figure. A dead televangelist. A series of bizarre rituals.

Margo has spent most of her life without a family, and with a telekinetic gift she can’t quite explain. Since losing her mother less than a year ago, she’s felt more alone than ever. When her fiancé Sam takes her to his remote Iowa hometown to meet his family and begin planning their wedding, Margo finally feels home again. But the feeling doesn’t last long, and Margo soon begins to feel out of place among her future in-laws. Sam’s family is different from what she’d expected. Not only is their obsession with a deceased televangelist unsettling, but Margo begins seeing a strange, mysterious figure from her past—a figure she thought was put to rest with her mother’s passing.

As Sam’s family begins to take over the wedding plans, Margo tries to regain control by turning to the town’s sole wedding planner, who soon becomes her only confidant, perhaps because she reminds Margo of her former love. However, the more Margo tries to distance her past from her future with Sam, the deeper his family pulls her in, forcing upon her generationally archaic traditions that border on ritualistic. As Margo unearths the family’s dark web of secrets, she begins to suspect that she may have been brought here for a reason, and it may cost her life.

In the psychologically unsettling vein of I’m Thinking of Ending Things and The Women in the Dark, combined with the socially aware suspense of Get Out The Ever End takes elevated horror to a new level with a twisted, feminist story that will keep readers guessing until the end, and stay with them long after they close the book.
