Synopsis:
A teen girl disappears from her small town deep in the bayou, where magic festers beneath the
surface of the swamp like water rot, in this chilling debut supernatural thriller for fans of Natasha
Preston, Karen McManus, and Rory Power.
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 just rip the town apart.
