When best friends Sadie and Logan ditch their field trip for an abandoned corn maze, they stumble into a deadly loop where they’ve been trapped before—and died in the process. This atmospheric horror blends time-bending twists with a poignant look at trauma and connection.

This book was never on my radar until a friend of mine picked it up the other day, saying she was hooked instantly and I have to agree. I love stories with time loops and time travel and mysterious magical realism.
Sadie and Logan getting lost and stuck in the maze had me like !!! Hearing Sadie and Logan see Logan’s body initially was wild. How it repeated so many times got you right into the story.
The mechanics of this maze were so complex and with each iteration, Sadie and Logan became more in tune with it. It turned out that Helena’s story had parallels of Sadie’s own experiences.
I loved the friendship between Sadie and Logan and how they cared for each other. The trust and love was evident and there was no hint of a romantic subplot which I appreciated. As a fat girl, there are several passages that hit me right in the gut. No pun intended. I also really loved how they figured out how to solve the maze and escape.
I did audio and digital reading for this one and I’m glad I did! I had to switch to digital to finish tonight, haha.
