Dark and Shallow Lies
By Ginny Myers Sain
La Cachette, Louisiana, is the worst place to be if you have something to hide.
This tiny town, where seventeen-year-old Grey spends her summers, is the self-proclaimed Psychic Capital of the World—and the place where Elora Pellerin, Grey’s best friend, disappeared six months earlier.
Grey can’t believe that Elora vanished into thin air any more than she can believe that nobody in a town full of psychics knows what happened. But as she digs into the night that Elora went missing, she begins to realize that everybody in town is hiding something—her grandmother, Honey; her childhood crush, Hart; and even her late mother, whose secrets continue to call to Grey from beyond the grave.
When a mysterious stranger emerges from the bayou—a stormy-eyed boy with links to Elora and the town’s bloody history—Grey realizes that La Cachette’s past is far more present and dangerous than she’d ever understood. Suddenly, she doesn’t know who she can trust. In a town where secrets lurk just below the surface, and where a murderer is on the loose, nobody can be presumed innocent—and La Cachette’s dark and shallow lies may rip the town apart.
Jess Says:
I’ve never been a fan of gothic/noir novels, but I read this description a few summers ago and was hooked. Then when I started actually reading the book, I was completely enthralled. Ginny Myers Sain is a masterful storyteller. The way the book weaves between the past and present and includes an impending storm that makes the reader feel like they’re racing against time to finish the book is absolutely incredible. I can usually figure out a book’s plot pretty early on in a story, but this title had me second guessing everything and I LOVED it! Definitely read this book if you’re interested in a strong mystery with hints of paranormal activity.
