432 pages | Paperback A teen girl disappears from her tiny town deep in the Louisiana bayou, where magic festers beneath the surface of the swamp like water rot, in this chilling s upernatural thriller for fans of Natasha Preston and Stephanie Perkins.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 her best friend 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 disappeared, 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.
