The story follows Eden Stafford, a high school student who has spent her life hearing the eerie tales of Fairport Village, an abandoned beach resort shrouded in a deadly legend. According to local lore, anyone who dares to step foot on the cursed property is doomed to die.However, what begins as a night filled with unease quickly turns into a waking nightmare when another student is found dead on the property. Though the death is ruled an accident, Eden is convinced there’s more to the story—especially since she saw something that didn’t quite add up.As tensions rise, Eden and her tormentors become the targets of a menacing stalker who seems determined to ensure that Fairport’s grim history repeats itself. Forced to band together, Eden, Caleb, and the others must unravel the resort’s dark secrets before they become the next victims. But with years of animosity between them, Eden is left wondering—can she really trust the people who have tormented her for so long, or will they abandon her when she needs them the most?The eerie setting of Fairport Village serves as the perfect backdrop for a story that keeps readers guessing at every turn. The novel skillfully weaves together multiple mysteries—not just the present-day murder but also the truth behind the deaths of Henry and Diego, as well as the disappearance of Eden’s father and the unsolved case of Nicholas’s death. As each layer unfolds, the story becomes even more compelling, leaving readers eager to piece together the final puzzle. In addition to the gripping plot, the book holds personal significance for me, as I was fortunate enough to receive an autographed copy from Chelsea Ichaso herself. With its personalized message, this book is one I will treasure forever. Chelsea Ichaso delivers a spine-chilling, edge-of-your-seat thriller in We Were Warned, a novel that seamlessly blends urban legend horror with a gripping mystery. For fans of classic 90s and early 2000s slasher films like Valentine, Urban Legend 3, and I Know What You Did Last Summer, this book is a perfect addition to your reading list.
