Dark and Shallow Lies

In this spine-tingling debut supernatural thriller for readers of Karen McManus, Rory Power, and Natasha Preston, an adolescent girl vanishes from her small community deep in the bayou, where magic festers beneath the surface of the swamp like water rot.

The worst location to be if you have something to hide is La Cachette, Louisiana.

The seventeen-year-old Grey spends her summers in this small village, which she claims to be the Psychic Capital of the World. Six months prior, Grey's best friend Elora Pellerin vanished from this town.

Grey is as astounded that Elora simply disappeared and that no one in a community full of psychics is aware of what transpired. However, as she delves deeper into the night that Elora vanished, she starts to suspect that everyone in the town—including her late mother, whose secrets continue to call to Grey from beyond the grave—is hiding something. These people include her grandmother Honey, her childhood crush Hart, and herself.

Grey discovers that La Cachette's past is far more present and deadly than she had ever realized when a mysterious man with stormy eyes and ties to Elora and the town's violent past appears out of the bayou. She is suddenly unsure of whom to trust. Nobody can be considered innocent in a town where a killer is at large and secrets are lurking beneath the surface. La Cachette's deceptive and dark falsehoods might destroy the village.
